Public memorial for Jun Lin planned for Saturday

A public memorial service for Jun Lin will be held this coming Saturday.

In a report by the Montreal Gazette, the memorial will take place at the Montreal Chinese Alliance Church in Hampstead. It is set to begin at 10 a.m. on Saturday.

The ceremony is being organized by friends of the former Concordia international student. Lin’s parents will also attend the memorial. They have also not decided whether to bury their only son in Montreal or back in China.

A private memorial on June 25th drew nearly 100 friends, colleagues and community members to the Loyola chapel at Concordia.

The suspect in the grisly murder case, Luka Rocco Magnotta pleaded not guilty to all charges and is awaiting trial.
