WINNIPEG – A man found not criminally responsible for beheading a fellow passenger on a Greyhound bus in Manitoba has been granted some further privileges.
The Criminal Code Review Board has ruled that Vince Li (LEE’) can go on more escorted day trips from the mental hospital where he is in custody.
Li was already allowed short escorted visits into nearby Selkirk, but soon will be able to make supervised, full-day trips to Lockport and Winnipeg and nearby beaches.
The board also says Li can have unsupervised visits on the grounds of the Selkirk Mental Health Centre.
Li’s psychiatrist has said the 45-year-old hasn’t had hallucinations in more than a year and is a low risk to reoffend.
Li was an undiagnosed schizophrenic when he stabbed and beheaded Tim McLean and ate parts of his body in July 2008.
