Vince Li found not criminally responsible for beheading on Greyhound bus (转)

By The Canadian Press WINNIPEG - A man who beheaded a fellow passenger on a Greyhound bus in Manitoba has been found not criminally responsible due to mental illness. Justice John Scurfield says Vince Li's attack on Tim McLean was "grotesque" and "barbaric" but "strongly suggestive of a mental disorder." Li was charged with the second-degree murder, but pleaded not guilty at the start of his trial Tuesday. Two psychiatrists testified that he is schizophrenic and was hearing a voice he believed was God ordering him to kill McLean because the young man was a force of evil. Li then beheaded his victim and cut up his body because he was afraid McLean would come back to life. Scurfield's decision means Li will be treated in a mental institution instead of going to prison.
