Canadian police identified and arrested the man who beheaded the passenger sitting next to him in a Greyhound bus. The 40-year-old man who walked through the bus with the head of the dead man in his hand has been charged with second-degree murder, police said Friday.

Police officials said the man who committed the horrific crime is Vince Weiguang Li, of Edmonton, Alberta. He is due to appear in court later Friday, said Sgt. Brian Edmonds.

On the other hand, The Canadian Press reported that the victim was 22-year-old carnival worker Tim McLean, a young man described by those close to him as the quiet type. He liked to socialize with friends and was about 5-foot-4 and 130 pounds. The one who gave details about the victim was 23-year-old William Caron, who also said that, from what he found out from police, the killer was about three times bigger than McLean.

"All the time I've known Tim, he's never been the type of guy to get into a fight with. He always kept to himself when there's strangers around," Caron added according to The Associated Press.

The horrible crime occurred while the bus was traveling a desolate stretch of the TransCanada Highway about 12 miles from Portage La Prairie, Manitoba. According to eyewitnesses, the killer stabbed his victim dozens of times, cut off its head, displayed it and began cutting up the body.

According to eyewitnesses, the attacker and the victim did not speak before things got messy.

"We heard this bloodcurdling scream and turned around, and the guy was standing up, stabbing this guy repeatedly," said Garnet Caton, a passenger who was sitting just one seat in front of the killer.

When he became aware of what was going on in the bus, the driver stopped the vehicle and passengers fled off it. Meanwhile, the killer had the body of the victim on the floor and was cutting its head off. The killer then came to the front of the bus and showed off the head to the other passengers.
