Diran Lin will return to China empty-handed next month after not getting the answer to the one question he desperately wanted answered: Why did Luka Magnotta kill his son, Jun Lin?
Jun Lin's mother and father arrived in Montreal from China shortly after authorities identified their son's remains. (CBC)
"What he did was very cruel," Lin said on Monday morning in Montreal.
Lin addressed the media with the help of a translator, nearly one week after Magnotta was handed a guilty verdict for killing the 33-year-old Chinese student in 2012.
"I came here for the trial first, because I miss my son," Diran Lin said.
"Another reason was to find out why it happened, but there is no result for this."
Even so, Lin said, the result of the trial was fair and just. He thanked the Canadian legal system and Judge Guy Cournoyer for a difficult job that was well done.
He also thanked journalists for caring about his son's death.
"I want to say thank you from my own heart."
The first-degree murder verdict comes with a sentence of life in prison and no chance of parole for at least 25 years. Magnotta was also found guilty of four other charges.
Diran Lin quit his job to come to Montreal for Magnotta's 10-week murder trial, and during that time, his hair turned white.
He sat in the courtroom every day, retiring to a room when the court was shown graphic evidence of the murder.
Lin said his wife, who stayed in China, is in poor health and is being looked after by a doctor.
Lin is expected to return to Beijing in January, but he doesn't know quite what he is going back to.
"Losing my son means losing everything to me," he said.
A fund was started by the law firm representing the Lin family members to help them get back on their feet.
