Vince Weiguang Li, the man who stabbed a fellow bus passenger to death, beheaded and cannibalized him, reportedly said only three words in court when the judge asked him if he wanted a lawyer:
“Please kill me.”
After the horrible scene that took place in a Greyhound bus in Canada, Manitoba Provincial Court Judge Michel Chartier ordered the accused criminal to undergo a psychiatric evaluation.
Meanwhile, new details about the crime were revealed. According to prosecutor Joyce Dalmyn, the 40-year-old criminal had the victim’s ear, nose and part of a mouth in a plastic bag in his pocket when he was arrested.
When they handcuffed Li, the only thing he said was that he wanted to stay in the bus forever. The murderer reportedly carried the victim’s severed head back and forth on the bus “taunting” officers.
Besides a knife, Li also had a pair of scissors which he used to cut body parts from the victim. He later ate those parts, said Dalmyn. When police tried to interview him, Li refused to speak for the most part. However, the Chinese native who immigrated to Canada in 2004 did say that he was guilty.
Li was charged with second-degree murder in the slaying of 22-year-old carnival worker Tim McLean. He did not enter a plea yet. He will appear on Tuesday in court in Portage La Prairie, Manitoba.
The horrible crime occurred while the bus was traveling a desolate stretch of the TransCanada Highway about 12 miles from Portage La Prairie, Manitoba. Li stabbed his victim dozens of times, cut off its head, displayed it and began cutting up the body.
Following he horrible crime, Greyhound decided to scrap an ad campaign that extolled the relaxing upside of bus travel. The ad's tag line was ``There's a reason you've never heard of 'bus rage.'''
