A public memorial for slain student Jun Lin will be held in Montreal today.
The 33-year-old student from China was killed and dismembered sometime between May 24 and May 25.
The ceremony will take place at the Montreal Chinese Alliance Church in Hampstead at 10 a.m. and will be open to the public.
Lin was studying computer science at Concordia University at the time of his death.
More than $70,000 has been raised in Lin's name to support his family and Chinese students at the school, according to the university.
Luka Rocco Magnotta has pleaded not guilty to several charges in connection with Lin's death — including a count of first-degree murder.
