Luka Magnotta has been found guilty of first-degree murder by a Montreal court. Two years ago he committed one of Canada's most gruesome murders by killing university student Jun Lin and dismembering and mailing part of his body to schools and two of Canada's top political parties.

A jury found Magnotta, 32, guilty of murder as well as "committing an indignity to a human body, publishing and mailing obscene material, and criminally harassing Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper," according to the Mirror. They deliberated for more than a week, ultimately deciding Magnotta was not mentally ill, as the defense argued.

In 2012, Magnotta murdered Lin, dismembered his body and recorded a video of the act. He then mailed Lin's feet and hands to schools in Vancouver and political party offices in Ottawa wrapped in pink tissue paper accompanied by notes and poems. Magnotta discarded the rest of the remains behind a Montreal apartment building and also uploaded the video online.

After committing the murder, Magnotta fled to Europe. A manhunt ensued, concluding when police captured Magnotta at a Berlin café where he was reading articles about himself.

According to the Toronto Sun, Magnotta declined to make a comment after his conviction. He showed no emotion and simply yawned and left the courtroom.

Crown Prosecutor Louis Bouthillier was happy with the jury's decision and said he was sure Magnotta would be convicted.

Defense attorney Luc Leclair argued Magnotta heard voices that told him to commit the crime.

The Crown prosecutor, however, called him a "great actor" and said Lin, a foreign student from Wuhan, China, was the perfect target since he did not have family in Canada. He added that the murder was thoroughly planned as Magnotta warned he would kill someone and film it. He also gave as evidence another video in which Magnotta rehearsed the murder a month earlier.

Lin's father, Diran Lin, traveled from China for the trial, reports the CBC. His lawyer, Daniel Urbas, read a statement by the father.

"I feel bad that I was not there to warn him that night," he said. "I will never see his smiling face on video chat or hear about his new accomplishments or hear his laugh. Lin Jun's birthday is on Dec. 30 and he will never be there for his birthday or ours."

The defense has yet to decide whether or not to appeal.
