Vince Weiguang Li

At the Provincial Court of Manitoba prosecutors asked the judge for a mental evaluation on Li, who emigrated to Canada from China in 2004.

Prosecutor Joyce Dalmyn revealed new details about the attack, which occurred last Wednesday night.

She said Li had a plastic bag containing his victim’s ear, nose and part of a mouth in his pocket when officers arrested him.

The only response officers received from him was: “‘I have to stay on the bus forever.”

Li is charged with second-degree murder and is yet to enter a plea. Since his arrest he has refused to speak to prosecutors or to his court-appointed lawyer.

When asked by Provincial Court of Manitoba Judge Michel Chartier if he wanted a lawyer, Li shook his head and then quietly said: “Please kill me.” (Sky News)

The new details of this case will certainly make people think about what type of nut job is sitting nest to them whether they be on a bus, a train or a plane. One never knows just what type of imbalanced person might be just an arm’s length away. Vince Weiguang Li has yet to provide a motive or any reason why he committed the heinous act that he did.

Court was told Mr. Li spent four days in a Canadian psychiatric facility at some point, but the Crown is still trying to determine where and when. Crown lawyer Joyce Dalmyn said Mr. Li has not yet offered any explanation for what occurred aboard Greyhound 1170.

“No explanation, no note, almost nothing verbal,” Ms. Dalmyn said. “There is nothing to indicate it’s anything other than a random and unprovoked attack.”

Meanwhile, new details have emerged about how Mr. Li spent the 24 hours before Mr. McLean was killed, including that he spent a night on a public bench, sold a laptop to a teenager that contained personal letters and photos, as well as a note that expressed feelings of guilt at leaving China, and confusion about life in Canada.
