Like I said, Manny — real name: Manuel Lopez — is apparently the reason why Magnotta committed murder in the first place. According to Heavy, Magnotta's mom, Anna Youkin, told Netflix that Manny had been paying Magnotta for his escort services, and eventually, things got a little out of hand. 

Apparently, Magnotta told his mother that Manny started wreaking havoc on his life — Manny reportedly stalked Magnotta, stole his medication, and forced him to kill those kittens, as well as Lin Jun, the unsuspecting international student who was romantically interested in Magnotta. There's no denying that being stalked and coerced into killing would be absolutely devastating, but there's one problem: Manny might not be real.
