Passengers aboard a Canadian Greyhound bus witnessed a heinous crime late on Wednesday night. They say one passenger stabbed another to death and decapitated him.
Vince Weiguang Li, 40, was arrested and charged with the second degree murder of Tim McLean, 22.
Witnesses say that Vince Weiguang Li pulled out a large knife and began stabbing Tim McLean who was sitting next to him and sleeping. Passengers screamed in terror, the bus driver pulled over in Portage La Prairie, Manitoba and the passengers escaped the bus before Vince Weiguang Li hurt anyone else. Passengers managed to not let Li escape and the bus driver had disabled the bus’ motor so Li could not drive away. When passengers entered the bus to try and rescue the victim, they saw that Vince Weiguang Li had cut Tim McLean’s head off and he started coming after them with his knife. Police arrived at the scene and managed to capture Li as he attempted to jump out of a window.
Greyhound offered their apologies for this tragic murder but assured riders that bus travel is "the safest mode of transportation in the country." Passengers were escorted to Winnipeg, the bus’ original destination, where Greyhound offered counseling to those who requested it.
