What the Forensics

Ep. 44 - Luka Magnotta & Killing for Fame


Listen Later

This week on What The Forensics we talk about Canadian killer Luka Magnotta, his life leading up to the murder, the murder victim Justin Lin, and what it means to kill for fame. This is a very interesting episode that discusses the problems around media, podcasts, and other sources that cover crimes and inadvertently glorify the killer over the victim. We discuss how we play a role in that, how we can try mitigate the effects of this, why people view killing as something to be glorified for, and how all of this played a role in why Luka Magnotta did what he did. This is one you don't want to miss!
