TORONTO — Police have identified the man who witnesses say stabbed and beheaded a passenger aboard a Greyhound bus in Canada.
Police said in a statement Friday that 40-year-old Vince Weiguang Li, of Edmonton, Alberta, has been charged with second-degree murder. Li is due to appear in court Friday.
The Canadian Press reports that the victim's friends have identified him as Tim McLean, a 22-year-old carnival worker. Authorities have not released his name.
Witnesses say the victim was stabbed dozens of times in an apparently unprovoked attack Wednesday night aboard the bus, which was going from Edmonton, Alberta, to Winnipeg, Manitoba.
They say the attacker then severed the man's head, displayed it to some passengers and then began cutting up the body.
