Luka Magnotta, the convicted murderer from Netflix’s “Don’t F**k With Cats” series, will not be released from prison despite risk contracting coronavirus.
Luka Magnotta, the convicted murder from Netflix’s Don’t F**k With Cats: Hunting An Internet Killer true crime documentary series, is not seeing the outside a prison cell anytime soon despite coronavirus concerns. It was reported recently that the prison where the kitten killer, who went on to be convicted murdering and dismembering a human being, currently resides has seen a number coronavirus cases. There was speculation that, as a result, Luka may be released from the maximum security facility in Quebec, but according to The Correctional Service Canada, there’s no chance anything like that happening.
The CSC stated that “Mr. Magnotta is not eligible, under law, for any form parole” until June 4th, 2034. The severity the virus at the prison isn’t too extreme, though, with 11 out the 15 inmates that tested positive having already recovered. There have been zero deaths so far, although 15 prison employees have also tested positive. Only low-level fenders with a lesser risk posing a threat to the public are being considered for early release, which Luka is not. In 2014, he was sentenced to life in prison for committing first-degree murder after he was found guilty killing international student, Jun Lin, in 2012.
