Correctional Service Canada confirms Luka Magnotta, who made international headlines for the brutal killing of an international student, resides in a medium-security prison.
A jury found Magnotta guilty of first-degree murder in 2014 for the killing and dismemberment of 33-year-old Concordia University student Jun Lin in 2012.
Magnotta admitted to causing Lin’s death, dismembering him and sending his body parts to political parties and schools with threatening messages.

The correctional service says the convicted killer was transferred to a medium-security prison in 2022.
