Magnotta’s fate now in the hands of the jury (Globe & Mail) [View all]

The jury at Luka Rocco Magnotta’s first-degree murder trial has been sequestered.

Justice Guy Cournoyer completed his final instructions late today and 12 jurors will now decide the fate of the 32-year-old Ontario native.

They will have to reach a verdict on each of the five charges Magnotta faces in the slaying and dismemberment of Jun Lin in May, 2012.

Magnotta has admitted to the killing but has asked the jury to find him not criminally responsible by way of mental disorder.
