Decapitation suspect appears in court
(CNN) — A 40-year-old man was charged with second-degree murder Friday in connection with the stabbing and beheading death of his seatmate on a Greyhound Canada bus, authorities said.
Police investigate the scene near Portage la Prairie, Canada, on Thursday.
Vince Weiguang Li of Edmonton, Alberta, stood silent before a judge Friday in the Provincial Court of Manitoba in Portage la Prairie, the Associated Press reported.
A prosecutor sought a psychiatric evaluation of the defendant, but the judge said he’d wait until Li had obtained an attorney, AP reported. Li is due back in court Tuesday.
The body of the 22-year-old male victim is to be autopsied Friday, police said. The victim’s name was not released.
However, the Canadian viagra Press named the dead man as Tim McLean, 22, of Winnipeg, Manitoba.
McLean was repeatedly stabbed and then decapitated by the man sitting next to him on a Greyhound Canada bus Thursday west of Portage la Prairie in Manitoba.

Garnet Caton, who was sitting in front of McLean, talked of a "bloodcurdling scream" when the attack began.

Passengers exited the bus, and a trucker who stopped provided wrenches and crowbars to several of them so they could keep the suspect on the bus until police came, witnesses told Canadian TV.
The attacker was taken into custody after an hours-long standoff, during which he remained in the bus with the victim’s body. Police said Thursday he was seized after he broke a window and attempted to jump from the vehicle.
