A medical team recommends a man who beheaded a fellow passenger on a Greyhound bus in 2008 be allowed more supervised visits outside his mental health institution. Vince Li bowed his head for most of his annual review before the Criminal Code Review Board on Monday. The board will make its decision within a week.
Li was found not criminally responsible for beheading 22 year-old Tim McLean while other passengers ran away in horror. At the time Li had not yet been diagnosed with schizophrenia.
Now Li is on medication and his doctors say he has made great improvement. They add Li has scored very low on several tests for risk of violence and there is no evidence he would try to escape.
Said the victim’s mother, “I feel sick right now — physically, nauseously feel ill because I feel very helpless.”
