Usually on asian related sites the victim is often asian and the perpetrator is non-asian to prove a point. Here in this bizarre indicent the victim is white and the accused is asian. Straight out of a horror movie script...

PORTAGE LA PRAIRIE, Man. — The man accused in the beheading of a fellow passenger on a Greyhound bus in Manitoba uttered not a word when he made his first court appearance Friday.
Vince Weiguang Li, 40, of Edmonton, his feet shackled, shuffled into a courtroom in Portage la Prairie, Man., with his head bowed. He did not make eye contact with anyone the entire time he was before the judge.
He would not even reply when the judge asked him if he was going to get a lawyer, and only nodded slightly when asked whether he was exercising his right not to speak.
The Crown asked for a psychiatric assessment, but the judge said he wanted to give Li a chance to talk to a lawyer about that.
“It’s early and I think the judge just wants to respect his rights to ... speak to counsel and he’s giving him that opportunity,” Crown prosecutor Larry Hodgson said outside court. “I don’t think it will be very long that they’ll allow him to do that.”
Hodgson said if Li doesn’t get his own lawyer, the court could appoint one or the case could proceed anyway.


Li’s next court appearance is scheduled for Tuesday in Portage la Prairie.
Li is charged with second-degree murder in the gruesome slaying of Tim McLean, 22, on a Greyhound bus that was travelling from Edmonton to Winnipeg. Police have not identified the victim, but friends say it was McLean.
Passengers say the young man was stabbed repeatedly before he was beheaded and his body carved up. Police have only confirmed that a man was stabbed.
Some passengers also described McLean’s attacker as a big man who weighed at least 200 pounds. The man who appeared in court Friday wearing a grey T-shirt and prisoner’s vest appeared to be about five-foot-eight or nine with a stocky build.
Hodgson couldn’t offer many details about Li.
“I know he was from Edmonton. I don’t know why he was on the bus. That’s still under investigation.” The RCMP said Li has no known criminal record.
Meanwhile, tributes to the victim were pouring into social networking and media websites. A Facebook website called “R.I.P. Tim” quickly sprang up after news of the attack.
“I can’t believe this is happening,” wrote Leah Dryburgh of Winnipeg. “Tim, you were the best guy ever. You didn’t deserve this at all.”
Friends described McLean as a quiet, easy-going carnival worker who was heading home to Winnipeg after a job in Edmonton.

It's people like this guy that convinces me that Canada needs to re-implement capital punishment.

Googling Vince Li, other articles indicate he cannibalized his victim. Can it get any more fucked up?!

time to resurrect the code of hammurabi for sure.

i've seen some bad-ass shit in my life time (i lived in norfolk va where gangs run amuck and seen a guy shot in the chest and coughing up blood and people walked AROUND HIM on the sidewalk like they didnt give a shit!!!!!!!!!) but a decapitation.....thats.....thats sick in so many ways....and if i ever seen that i think i'd be tramatized for life so i think the only victim here isnt the guy that was murdered but EVERYONE on that bus.

How you think I feel, I probably passed that guy at some point because I do live in Edmonton Ahhhhhhhhhh
