In 2012 he was murdered by Luka Rocco Magnotta (born Eric Clinton Kirk Newman) who mailed his hands and feet to elementary schools and federal political party offices. After a video depicting the murder was posted online in May 2012, Magnotta fled from Canada, becoming the subject of an Interpol Red Notice and prompting an international manhunt. In June 2012, he was apprehended in Berlin while reading news about himself at an Internet café. In December 2014, after eight days of deliberations, a jury convicted him of first-degree murder. He was previously sought by animal rights groups for allegedly uploading videos of himself killing kittens. Luka Magnotta was born Eric Clinton Kirk Newman on July 24, 1982, in Scarborough, Ontario, the son of Anna Yourkin and Donald Newman. He was the first of their three children. According to him, his mother was obsessed with cleanliness, would routinely lock her children out of the house, and once put her children's pet rabbits out in the cold to freeze to death. His father was diagnosed with schizophrenia in 1994, after which he divorced Magnotta's mother, leading Magnotta to move in with his grandmother, Phyllis. He appeared as a pin-up model in a 2005 issue of Toronto's fab magazine, using the pseudonym Jimmy. In 2007, he was an unsuccessful competitor in OUTtv's reality series COVERguy. He had multiple cosmetic surgeries and auditioned for the Slice network television show Plastic Makes Perfect in February 2008. In 2005, he was convicted of one count of impersonation and three counts of fraud (against Sears Canada, The Brick, and 2001 Audio Video) after impersonating a woman to apply for a credit card and purchasing over $10,000 worth of goods. He pleaded guilty and received a nine-month conditional sentence with 12 months of probation. He legally changed his name to Luka Rocco Magnotta on August 12, 2006. Magnotta declared bankruptcy in March 2007, owing $17,000 in various debts. The bankruptcy was fully discharged in December 2007. Magnotta created many profiles on various Internet social media and discussion forums over several years to plant a variety of claims about himself. One such rumour emerged in 2007, claiming Magnotta was in a relationship with Karla Homolka, a high-profile Canadian convicted murderer, though he denied this in a subsequent interview with the Toronto Sun. During the murder investigation, Montreal police announced that the pair had dated but soon retracted the statement and acknowledged that they had no evidence to corroborate the claim. As with the Homolka relationship, Magnotta repeatedly denied the claims that he had planted as hoaxes and part of a campaign of cyber stalking against him. Police stated that Magnotta set up at least 70 Facebook pages and 20 websites under different names.
