MONTREAL — The Luka Magnotta murder and dismemberment case that made headlines worldwide last year is back in court Wednesday, but it's not clear if the defendant will appear.
The Crown and the defence are to make pretrial motions at the Montreal courthouse in advance of a 10-day preliminary hearing scheduled for March.
The 30-year-old Toronto-area native faces several charges including first-degree murder in the killing and dismemberment of Chinese student Jun Lin in late May.
