On the eighth day of the first-degree murder trial of Luka Magnotta on Thursday, Quebec Superior Court heard from the coroner that the victims’ body was cut into 10 pieces and arrived at the Montreal morgue at different times. It was explained that the job got complicated primarily because the body parts were already badly decomposed.

Dazé mentioned that “it was also difficult because we usually proceed in logical steps, but the state of the body made this more complex.” Dazé alleged to have started the job on June 1, 2012, by examining the torso, which included the neck and tops of the thighs. These body parts were found on May 29 in a suitcase behind Magnotta’s Décarie Blvd. apartment. Later on, Dazé also began scrutinizing two arms and two legs that were missing their hands and feet, all of which were kept at 4 degrees C in the morgue’s fridge.

Upon inquiry by Crown prosecutor, Louis Bouthillier, Dazé confirmed to have seen 10 photos of the crime scene shown by Montreal Police detectives but denied having watched the video of the crime that was posted online. Dazé alleged that “I see enough disgusting things in my work, so I didn’t need to watch the video.” 32-year-old Magnotta has confessed to have killed and dismembered 33-year-old Chinese national and Concordia University student named Lin, however he claims to have extraordinary mental state at the time that impeded his ability to know right from wrong.
