In Ottowa, The forensic psychiatrist famed for examining sex killer Paul Bernardo says he fears that the person who killed and dismembered a man in Montreal may kill again.
“If it is sexual and he has gone to this extreme, then I think the risk of killing again in a serial way goes higher,” Dr. John Bradford said in an interview. “So that is my worry about this.”
Luka Rocco Magnotta, a 29-year-old self-described porn star and prostitute, is wanted for first-degree murder and for “interfer(ing) with . . . the human remains (of) an unknown person” in connection with the gruesome discovery of body parts in Montreal and Ottawa this week.
A horrifying and graphic video has surfaced that is believed to show both the killing and aftermath of the death linked to the body-parts case. The video, titled ‘1 lunatic 1 ice pick,’ depicts a person killing a man and then committing gross indignities to his naked body.
It also has been alleged that Magnotta posted video on the Internet of himself suffocating and then dismembering kittens.
Bradford is an expert in understanding what makes men commit unspeakable crimes. He is head of forensic psychiatry at the University of Ottawa and recently retired as associate chief of forensics at the Royal Ottawa Mental Health Centre.
He has looked into the minds of some of the most notorious criminals of our time, from the murderous Kray brothers in Britain, to sadistic sex murderers Joseph Fredericks and Bernardo, whom he examined in 1994 before he stood trial for murdering teenagers Kristen French and Leslie Mahaffy.
Bradford said he is worried that the suspect is a sadist, with a serious personality disorder, who is “possibly a psychopath.”
And after killing once, he may be consumed by an urge to attack again. “People who get to the point of committing sexually-motivated homicides have very strong drives to continue.”
And to that end, Bradford said that it’s important to understand whether the killing was sexually motivated.
“The sexual component is assumed but until we know what relationship there was between him and this man, who is now deceased, it’s speculative. Although there is good evidence to support it (being sexually motivated),” he added.
“Was he in a relationship with this male? We don’t have the answer to that. It sounds as though they knew each other. Was this a sadistic homicide against a gay partner?”
Dr. Bradford explained that if a person kills because they are “high on drugs or psychotic,” the “drive to kill again is less strong.”
He also said it’s unlikely that the suspect is mentally ill or psychotic. “Most people with (a) serious mental disorder don’t do these types of things.” He also said the thought processes of the mentally ill are usually too disordered to carry out such a deliberate publicity campaign.
He notes a couple of elements of this case he considers to be outside the pattern of sadistic killers.
While dismemberment is not “super unusual” — Bernardo and Homolka did it to try to hide their crime — “what is unusual is to start mailing body parts all over the place and record what you are doing as a homicide.”
Sexual crimes are frequently recorded on video, Bradford said, but rarely murders. Even those who commit sexually-sadistic homicides (such as Bernardo and Homolka) tend to record only the sex because it is erotic to them.
“It sounds as though the purpose of the video was the homicide itself. It seems planned. He had a video camera set up and does the killing on the video. You have to ask yourself what is the motivation for that. It doesn’t sound to be sexual. Is he extremely psychopathic and he wanted to bring himself into a position of tremendous notoriety, to become infamous as a Canadian homicide perpetrator? People with extreme psychopathology would do these sorts of things,” he said. “That is my gut feeling.”
He also said recording the killing of kittens is a “red flag.”
“One of the hallmarks of sadistic behaviour is cruelty to animals.”

Animal abuse can also indicate the person was a victim of childhood abuse.
Bradford said that necrophilia is mostly associated with “sexual deviation and personality disorder” rather than a mental illness.
“People who commit sexually-motivated homicides, at the high end they go on to engage in necrophilia.”
He said it’s important for the public to be alerted to these cases, not just to warn them, but also to help them look out for deviant behaviour.
“If you look at studies on sadistic murderers, the number of them that have been cruel to animals is a very significant percentage,” he said.
“I think that unfortunately these very horrific things do occur — fortunately rarely — and we should be aware of it, so if somebody is being cruel to animals then somebody knows enough to pay attention.”

{A year before he became the target of an international manhunt for an alleged killing and dismemberment, Luka Rocco Magnotta was being hailed as a hero of free speech on a U.S. white nationalist website.
A May 27, 2011 post on Stormfront.org refers to Mr. Magnotta as “an open white supremacist” and claims he was being forced to flee Canada and return to Russia because of “his views on white supremacy.”}
The post, by a forum member named reddragon1, said Magnotta “is of Russian/Italian heritage,” was born in Tolyatti, Russia, moved to Canada at age five and went to the United States to work in modeling and adult entertainment.
“However, after he published his website supporting the freeze on immigration to America and Canada, he was bombarded with hate mail and his website was removed,” the post read. “His websites were frequently targeted and removed.”
It quoted Mr. Magnotta’s website as lamenting that “blacks get their own countries, Chinese get their own countries … however if white people want their own countries then we are denied that right.”
A photo of a shirtless Mr. Magnotta accompanied the post, which has now been taken down. A second and final post by reddragon1 the following day made derogatory comments about Jews. Stormfront is run by former Ku Klux Klan leader Don Black.
The blog Anti-Racist Canada, which found the Stormfront posts, reported Thursday that it would be sending them “to the appropriate authorities” and said it suspected reddragon1 to be Mr. Magnotta himself.
{Mr. Magnotta appeared again on Stormfront in September, when a member wrote that “Luka Magnotta, he wrote a lot of very interesting articles on multiculturalism. I for one am extremely happy that he is courageous enough to write the things he does, knowing full well he will receive death threats. … He says he is not advocating killing different races, he simply does not want to communicate, work or associate with different races.”}
Abbee Corb, an analyst with the Hate Crimes Extremism and Investigative Team, which advises police services in Ontario, said Stormfront “has become a social networking site and prominent voice in the right-wing white supremacist community.
“Prominent Canadian right winger Paul Fromm, hosts his radio show on the Stormfront network. Stormfront has a great deal of Canadian and international content. Its users can post and create content promoting events, recruiting and providing commentary on global events.”
He said that some early animal killers can go on to carry out some “bizarre and extreme and gruesome killings,” and that some of North America’s most notorious serial killers started off by abusing animals.Animal abuse can also indicate the person was a victim of childhood abuse.
Bradford said that necrophilia is mostly associated with “sexual deviation and personality disorder” rather than a mental illness.
“People who commit sexually-motivated homicides, at the high end they go on to engage in necrophilia.”
He said it’s important for the public to be alerted to these cases, not just to warn them, but also to help them look out for deviant behaviour.
“If you look at studies on sadistic murderers, the number of them that have been cruel to animals is a very significant percentage,” he said.
“I think that unfortunately these very horrific things do occur — fortunately rarely — and we should be aware of it, so if somebody is being cruel to animals then somebody knows enough to pay attention.”

Magnotta, 29, a self-confessed Canadian porn star wanted in connection with a killing that saw a torso left in a suitcase and a hand and foot mailed to the Ottawa offices of the Liberal and Conservative parties fled to Europe, most likely Paris, police believe.
Born Eric Newman, Magnotta is also known to wear wigs and disguises, Lafrenière said. He also has an extensive Internet presence including blog entries, a website and a Facebook page.
