Summary

In 2019, Netflix had a hit with documentary series 'Don't F**k With Cats'. It was based on one of Canada's most infamous crimes: the 2012 murder of thirty-three-year-old Lin Jun by his porn-star boyfriend, Luka Magnotta, in Montreal. Magnotta filmed himself killing and (apparently) eating parts of his victim; he also mailed Jun's feet and hands to two Canadian political parties and two elementary schools. Prior to Jun's murder, though, Magnotta had anonymously posted online videos of himself killing kittens. Horrified Facebook sleuths worked tirelessly to uncover the kitten-killer's identity and location. Nicola Stow reveals the fascinating stories behind this and similar cases in which ordinary citizens, in real-life murder clubs, as in Richard Osman's fiction, help to investigate crimes, both recent and cold cases.
