Man decapitated on Canadian bus

Here are the highlights.

A man on a Greyhound bus travelling across the Canadian Prairies has killed and decapitated a fellow passenger.

"All of a sudden, we all heard this scream, this bloodcurdling scream," passenger Garnet Caton told CBC television.

"The attacker was standing up right over the top of the guy with a large hunting knife - a survival, Rambo knife - holding the guy and continually stabbing him... in the chest area," Mr Caton added.

The attack continued as passengers fled the bus and waited for police on a desolate stretch of the TransCanada Highway near Portage la Prairie, Manitoba.

Mr Caton, the bus driver and a trucker who had stopped at the scene boarded the vehicle to see if the victim was still alive.

"When we came back on the bus... he was cutting the guy's head off and pretty much gutting him up," Mr Caton said.

The attacker ran at them, Mr Caton said, and they ran out of the bus, holding the door shut to prevent him getting out.

"Some people were puking, some people were crying, other people were in shock ... everybody was running, screaming off the bus," Mr Caton said.

Here is an artist's rendering of the situation:

LOLLLL well done

[Orgazmo]

Where's all of the puke in that picture? I heard there was puke.

[ninjaface]

That was outside. You are welcome to artistically render the reaction of the fellow passengers.

[Orgazmo]

Puke is inside.

[Cocktooth]

Candians have an odd way of expressing themselves.

[THEINCREDIBLEdork]

I'll guess I'll never be heading to Canada. Get it?

[Orgazmo]

Boy, those canadians sure know how to get ahead in life.

[SittinOnDubsWGW]

I'm all for roadhead, but this is a little outta control.

[THEINCREDIBLEdork]

Its a shame thats the only way to get ahead in life in Canada.

[Orgazmo]

It's also a shame that I've already used ahead. A bloody shame.

In other news, who wins the sick fuck contest between the dude above and this guy?

[ProfessorNumber]

Sounds like everyone was running around like a bunch of chickens with their heads cut off.

[Heaven Can Wait]

This is why europe is better.

[THEINCREDIBLEdork]

I think its cool that in that story they call the guy a knifeman. Like a gunman. I think it would be awesomo to be a knifeman.

How fucking incompetent is the Grecian police force? Or how much of a badass is this guy? He wielded someone's fucking head as a weapon to steal a police jeep.

The part about the two female doctors on a motorized bike sounded intriguing as well.

[Beebs]

He'll never get ahead that way, no time to lose ones head.

[ProfessorNumber]

cutting off someone's head is no way to get ahead in life.

[Orgazmo]

When it comes to cutting people's heads off, that guy certainly is ahead of the pack. It wouldn't surprise me if he sews the heads back on using a needle and thread...just to cut them off again.

[THEINCREDIBLEdork]

Why not just sow the extra head on himself, for a double-header

[Orgazmo]

I'm not sure he has the sewing prowess for such a feat. He'd have to head to a surgeon for something like that.

Bus-beheading suspect beseeches judge: ‘kill me’

‘BUS RAGE’: The man accused of killing and eating parts of a 22-year-old carnival worker in Canada last week only uttered three words in court on Tuesday: ‘Please kill me’

AP, TORONTO
Thursday, Aug 07, 2008, Page 7
A man accused of beheading and cannibalizing another passenger on a Greyhound bus in Canada shook his head and said “please kill me,” when a judge asked him if he wanted a lawyer on Tuesday.

Manitoba Provincial Court Judge Michel Chartier ordered Vince Weiguang Li to undergo a psychiatric evaluation.

Prosecutor Joyce Dalmyn, who argued for the evaluation, revealed new details about the attack, which occurred last Wednesday night.

She said Li, 40, had a plastic bag containing his victim’s ear, nose and part of a mouth in his pocket when officers arrested him.

The only response officers received from him was: “’I have to stay on the bus forever,’” Dalmyn said.

Dalmyn also said the accused carried the victim’s severed head back and forth on the bus “taunting” officers. Armed with a knife and a pair of scissors, he was also observed “cutting body parts from the victim and eating those body parts,” she said.

In an interview with police after his arrest, Li declined to speak for the most part, she said. On four occasions, however, he did indicate in a low voice that he is guilty, she said.

Police are looking into information that Li may have spent as many as four days in a psychiatric facility prior to the attack, Dalmyn said.

Li, who immigrated to Canada from China in 2004, is charged with second-degree murder in the slaying of 22-year-old carnival worker Tim McLean. He has yet to enter a plea.

He was scheduled to appear on Tuesday in court in Portage La Prairie, Manitoba, to determine whether he should undergo psychiatric testing, but the judge adjourned the hearing for a short recess to allow a legal aid attorney to confer with the suspect.

Dalmyn said Li refused to work with the lawyer.

Since his arrest, Li has declined to speak to prosecutors and his court-appointed attorney.

When asked by Chartier after the recess if he wanted a lawyer, Li shook his head and then quietly said: “Please kill me.”

“There were some people in the courtroom that were taken aback by it,” Dalmyn said. “Those were the only words I heard him utter in the courtroom.”

Li is due back in court Sept. 8. Dalmyn said they hope to have the psychiatric assessment by then, and that a new lawyer could be appointed to the case after Li rejected the legal aid counsel who handled the case Tuesday.

In the wake of the attack, Greyhound scrapped a billboard ad campaign that extolled the relaxing upside of bus travel.

The ad’s punch line was “There’s a reason you’ve never heard of ‘bus rage.’”

Greyhound spokeswoman Abby Wambaugh said the company feels the ad, launched last year, could be offensive and that it is no longer appropriate.

Update



Vincent Weiguang Li of Edmonton, Canada, has been found not criminally guilty for the beheading and cannibalising of a passenger on a Greyhound bus in 2008.
While travelling on a Greyhound but from Edmonton, Alberta to Thunder Bay, schizophrenic, Li, attacked 22-year-old Tim McLean while he slept.

Li was convinced that his victim was evil and proceeded to stab the sleeping McLean. He then sawed off his head, disembowelled him and put McLean’s ear, nose and tongue in his pocket.

Li then proceeded to taunt police and terrified passengers with McLean’s severed head.

Police documents in court stated that, as they surrounded the bus, on a highway in western Canada, they saw Li `smell and then eat parts of Tim McLean’s flesh`.
Pleading not guilty at his preliminary hearing, in August 2008, Li was held on remand while he was psychologically evaluated.

The trial recommenced on March 3rd 2009 in which Li maintained his innocence. On March 5th the judge ruled that Li was not criminally responsible for the murder on account of his mental disorder.

The judge’s ruling means that psychiatrists will have two choices following a 90 day psychological assessment either to allow Li to go free, or for him to be treated in a psychiatric hospital.
