Teacher showed alleged Luka Rocco Magnotta dismemberment video to students | News | National Post
MONTREAL – A Montreal high school teacher has been suspended and is facing a disciplinary hearing Wednesday after showing the video of the alleged murder and mutilation of Jun Lin to his Grade 10 students.
The unidentified history and citizenship teacher at Cavelier-De LaSalle high school in the borough of LaSalle screened the grotesque scenes during his class on June 4, reportedly after a show of hands on whether students wanted to see it.
Police believe the video depicts the actual killing, dismemberment and cannibalism of Mr. Lin, 33, a student from Wuhan, China who was studying computer science at Concordia University.
A police spokesman has described the content as so disgusting that seasoned detectives forced to watch it as part of their investigation were left shaken.
Luka Rocco Magnotta, 29, was arrested last week in Berlin and is facing murder charges in connection with the killing. He is awaiting extradition from Germany.
In a statement Wednesday, the Commission Scolaire Marguerite-Bourgeoys, the school board responsible for the school, said it and the school’s administration “condemn with a single voice the action of a teacher who showed his students a video with content as inappropriate as it is offensive.”
The teacher, described as being about 25-years-old, was suspended with salary as soon as the administration learned of the screening. The school immediately made a team of psychologists and counselors available to students traumatized by what they had seen.
