OTTAWA (AFP) A Chinese immigrant who stabbed, gutted and beheaded a fellow passenger on a bus traveling across Canada last week also cannibalized the victim and pocketed his nose, lips and ear, a court heard Tuesday.
Vince Weiguang Li, 40, of Edmonton faces a second-degree murder charge in the horrific case.
The victim has been identified by friends as Tim McLean, a young man of 22 years who was returning home to Winnipeg from a job as a carnival worker in Edmonton in Western Canada.
In his second court appearance, Li was overheard saying "please kill me," his interim defense lawyer Randy Janis told AFP.
Prosecutors said he appeared to be eating pieces of his victim when police surrounded the bus on a desolate highway about 90 kilometers (55 miles) west of Winnipeg last week immediately following the July 30 attack.
Li had decapitated the victim and was taunting police and bystanders with the head, the Crown said.
According to reports, McLean had been asleep, his cheek pressed against the window of the bus when his assailant struck suddenly, stabbing him repeatedly in the chest with a "big Rambo knife."

Weiguang?
Yes he is!!
Gives new meaning to ‘eat me’ doesn’t it?
Eeeeeewwwwwwww
Wake up, Canada! Instead of banning “hate speech,” i.e., anything that offends muslims, maybe they should ban cannibalism. Or is that not politically correct and “diversity conscious”?
When I first heard about this I thought something weird was involved. This sounds like something out of F.E.A.R
Take out.
Who wrote that headline? Dined?
If stabbing, gutting, beheading and eating gets you a second degree murder charge, what on earth do you need to do in Canada to get a first degree murder charge?
Any responses from the people who were sure he’d be a Muslim?
Possibly reserved for murder of law enforcement officials?
Its situations like this that give creedance to why mammals often eat their (defective) young.
China has muslims. In fact, they were just talking about it on Fox. They were talking about recent murders some distance away from where the Olympics will be. Fox news commentator was asking if it was safe and who were these people. The guest was saying they were non-hun (sp?) Chinese who wanted more autonomy. The news gal said, “Their Chinese muslims, right?” The answer was yes, although the guest wasn’t going to mention it.

He was probably pi$$ed because they didn't serve snacks on the bus.
Well, Chinese do eat just about anything.
