Immigrant in bus beheading dined on victim: prosecutors

1 hour, 8 minutes ago

OTTAWA (AFP) - A Chinese immigrant who stabbed, gutted and beheaded a fellow passenger on a bus traveling across Canada last week also cannibalized the victim and pocketed his nose, lips and ear, a court heard Tuesday.

Vince Weiguang Li, 40, of Edmonton faces a second-degree murder charge in the horrific case.

The victim has been identified by friends as Tim McLean, a young man of 22 years who was returning home to Winnipeg from a job as a carnival worker in Edmonton in Western Canada.

In his second court appearance, Li was overheard saying "please kill me."

Prosecutors said police observed him eating pieces of his victim when they surrounded the bus on a desolate highway about 90 kilometers (55 miles) west of Winnipeg immediately following the July 30 attack.

Li had decapitated the victim, sliced off an ear and bits of flesh and was taunting police and bystanders with the head, refusing to leave the bus and screaming "I have to stay on the bus forever," the Crown said.

According to reports, McLean had been asleep, his cheek pressed against the window of the bus when his assailant struck suddenly near dusk, stabbing him repeatedly in the chest with a "big Rambo knife."

The other 34 passengers and the driver were jolted by "blood-curdling screams" and fled, bracing the door on their way out to trap the assailant inside the bus, witness Garnet Caton told public broadcaster CBC.

McLean was stabbed 20-40 times, said prosecutor Joyce Dalmyn.

After a three-hour standoff, Li tossed a knife and scissors out of a broken window of the bus, jumped out and was subdued by police, the court heard.

In his pants pocket, police found several body parts hacked from the victim's face, said Dalmyn.

According to reports, Li worked mostly solitary jobs, including delivering newspapers and as a church custodian, since his arrival in Canada in 2004.

People who knew Li said the accused had showed signs of mental health troubles in the years leading up to the attack, but refused help.

His estranged wife told police he'd once been hospitalized for four days for strange behavior, the court heard.

Li did not speak in court. He nodded yes when asked by the judge if he understood the seriousness of the charge and shook his head no when asked if he wanted a lawyer.

"He doesn't seem to want to engage in any discourse," his interim defense lawyer Randy Janis told AFP after meeting with Li to try to convince him to accept legal counsel.

"His few responses are non-verbal, there's very little eye contact. Occasionally, he'll nod or shake his head to answer," he said, describing Li as withdrawn.

The judge ordered a psychiatric evaluation of the accused before his next scheduled court appearance on September 8.

Unless he's locked-in solitary confinement in jail or sanitorium, he will repeat on his co-locs.

This just seems too bizarre! He showed some signs of mental illness...Then snapped,decapitates someone,eats him,saves pieces of his face in his pockets.
There had to be some indication of this previously.

I had a close call in Wilmington, Delaware at the train station several years ago. Some nut job approached me, I didn't see him I was reading a USA Today and drinking a coke on a bench. My mom was sitting next to me. She says look this guy must know you! Then I look up don't recognize the 30 something guy. He says; Where's my ****ing social security check"?
Before I could say WTF are you talking about he starts beating the shit out of me standing over me while I was sitting on the bench.
Mom screams police..police...help help! Some bystander tried to hit him with a briefcase...then two cops pulled him to the ground and cuffed him, he had just pulled out a pocket knife and was getting ready to stab.
They took the nut job to a room that was directly across from me and he sat there in a chair giving me "Charlie Manson eyes"
Cops said that I wouldn't have testify in court since they witnessed the assault and I lived in D.C. at the time.
He was definitely preparing to kill me. After that incident...I have always been alert to my surroundings and any oddballs that could be trouble. The next one who attempts that B.S on me will be in for a big surprise!
