Vince Li, 44, has requested the Manitoba Criminal Review Board on Monday for more freedom from the mental hospital where he is been kept for four years after he beheaded a passenger, Tim McLean, on Greyhound bus.
Li’s psychiatrist, Dr. Steven Kremer, confirms that his patient has been taking his meds regularly and has responded positively to all his treatments over the past four years. He says, Li should be allowed to take short trips into Selkirk, Man.
“The privileges being asked for… would not place the public at high risk,” Kremer told the board. “He has done very well. He has been a robust responder. He understands if he were not to take his medication, he would experience deterioration.”
The news left McLean’s family in shock. They ask the court to guarantee that Li would not harm any other citizen and is stable enough not to eat anyone alive.
McLean’s mother, Carol DeDelley, says: “Can you guarantee me that he’s not going to eat somebody else’s eyes, somebody else’s heart? Slaughter another individual? No, nobody can guarantee me that. If you all think that maybe this is a good thing, that he should be free, let him come and stay at your house, ’cause I sure as hell don’t want him in my neighborhood.”
The awful incident took place in July 2008. The court did not find Li’s act as a criminal activity, instead, sent him to the Selkirk Mental Health Centre where he has been staying ever since.
Apparently, McLean was listening to music when suddenly another passenger started stabbing him from the back. This scared all the boarders and people ran away as soon as the bus stopped. Witnesses say they saw Li tearing the man up and eating him.
I really don’t agree with this action on their part. Even if someone is insane, I believe their should be held responsible for their actions. It is their body and soul that dcomment_ID that act. He stabbed a young man and then started eating him, on a bus. What are these psychiatrists and judges thinking? Drugs don’t solve the problem. All he has to do is stop taking his meds and then he’ll start eating other people? That is too fine a line between crazy and criminally insane for my taste. Conscomment_IDer the recent case in Halifax where a criminally insane man on leave from his group home killed a local gay rights activist out on the street. Lets learn a lesson from this recent tragedy.
