Website owner charged over grisly video in Magnotta case gets bail second time
EDMONTON – A website owner who is charged over a grisly video at the centre of the Luka Magnotta murder case has been granted bail for the second time.
Mark Marek was arrested just outside Edmonton last week for allegedly breaching his original bail conditions.
They include not using the Internet or having a cellphone.
The 38-year-old was picked up at a gas station last Friday after police received a tip that led them to an Edmonton-area storage facility.
Marek has pleaded not guilty to a corrupting morals charge for allegedly posting a video from Magnotta while knowing it depicted a real killing.
The video allegedly showed the slaying and dismemberment of Chinese university student Jun Lin in Montreal.
Magnotta has pleaded not guilty and is to go to trial next year.
