WINNIPEG – The man who beheaded a fellow passenger on a Greyhound bus in Manitoba has changed his name and is seeking more freedom.
Vince Li has appeared before a Criminal Code Review Board under the new name of Will Baker.
He is asking that he be allowed to move out of a group home to live independently, which would still see him supervised daily.
A decision is expected by the end of the week.

Baker killed Tim McLean during a bus trip on the TransCanada Highway near Portage la Prairie in July 2008.
He was later found to be not criminally responsible for the murder due to mental illness – schizophrenia.
In May 2015, the Manitoba Criminal Code Review Board approved Li to move from a mental hospital to a group home in Winnipeg.
