MONTREAL (NEWS1130) – The preliminary hearing for the man accused of killing and dismembering a Chinese exchange student has entered into its third week with witnesses from Vancouver testifying today.
The Luka Magnotta preliminary hearing is into its third week, with witnesses from Vancouver speaking via video conference.
Vancouver Police say that at some point some officers will testify but they don’t know when.
The bizarre and grisly murder investigation made its way to Vancouver when severed body parts turned up at two schools last June.
A package was first sent to False Creek Elementary, then to St. George’s School an hour later.
A friend of Jun Lin also took the stand today. Magnotta sat impassively as Dong Dong Xu answered questions from Crown and defence lawyers.
Xu attempted to have a publication ban placed on his identity, but the judge dismissed the request.
The hearing will determine whether there is enough evidence to send the case to trial.
