You think the psycho’s on the big screen are extreme? Try this on for size …
Sourced from online news today:
A man aboard a Greyhound bus travelling across Canada calmly stabbed another man dozens of times and decapitated him, pausing briefly to display the head to horrified passengers before proceeding to disembowel his victim, witnesses say. Passengers fled the bus in panic, and police said later their quick evacuation may have kept the killer from turning on others.
A 40-year-old man, who was not identified, was arrested for the murder on the bus, which was travelling overnight Wednesday from Edmonton, Alberta, to Winnipeg, Manitoba, Royal Canadian Mounted Police Sergeant Steve Colwell told a news conference.
Colwell said police apprehended the man when he broke a window and tried to escape from the bus by jumping out. Authorities declined to name the victim and provided little details about the stabbing. Colwell said they didn't know what prompted the attack and said they had not yet interviewed the man as of mid Thursday afternoon. He did not explain the delay.
Passengers said the attacker did not seem to know the victim, who appeared to be about 19 years old, and that he wore sunglasses throughout the attack although it was the middle of the night. Passenger Garnet Caton said the victim was sleeping with headphones on before he was stabbed 40 or 50 times by the man sitting next to him.
"We heard this bloodcurdling scream and turned around, and the guy was standing up, stabbing this guy repeatedly, like 40 or 50 times," Caton said from a hotel in Brandon, Manitoba, where he and other passengers had been taken to rest. Caton said the bus stopped and the passengers scrambled to disembark while the suspect allegedly began methodically carving up the man's body.
The attacker severed the man's head with a large hunting knife and held the head up by the door for others to see. "When he was attacking him, he was calm ... like he was at the beach," Caton said. "There was no rage or, or anything. He was just like a robot stabbing the guy."
Caton said that the attacker eventually tried to get off the bus, but that he, the driver and a passing trucker who had stopped to help, threw their weight against the door to prevent the man from leaving. When the attacker appeared to be attempting to start up the bus and drive away, the bus driver went to the rear of the bus and somehow disabled it, Caton said. Fellow passenger Cody Olmstead said the man "dropped the head and went back and started cutting the body back up."
Olmstead said the man later taunted police, who had surrounded the bus, and dropped the head in front of them. He said some of the passengers were watching the movie Zorro when the attack took place. Greyhound spokeswoman Abby Wambaugh said 37 passengers and one driver were on the bus.
The victim had been on the bus since Edmonton. Caton said the attacker boarded the bus around Brandon, Manitoba, about 130 kilometres west of Portage La Prairie, a town in the heart of the Canadian Prairies. The suspect had been on the bus for about an hour and didn't even sit near his victim at first. "He sat in the front at first, everything was normal," Caton said.
He continued: "We went to the next stop and he got off and had a smoke with another young lady there. When he got on the bus again, he came to the back near where I was sitting. He put his bags in the overhead compartment. He didn't say a word to anybody. He seemed totally normal. About a half an hour later, we heard this bloodcurdling scream."
Colwell, the RCMP spokesman, praised the passengers for their behaviour. "It's not something that happens regularly on a bus," he said. "You're sitting there enjoying your trip and then all of a sudden somebody gets stabbed. I imagine it would be pretty traumatic ... the way they acted was extraordinary." Colwell added that "they reacted swiftly, calmly in exiting the bus and, as a result, nobody else was injured."
Public Safety Minister Stockwell Day called it a "horrific" incident, but did not discuss details of the attack, saying he did not want to jeopardise the investigation. "We want to make sure that the process is followed as aggressively as possible, a full legal process, and the perpetrator is definitely dealt with the full force of the law," he said.
Day called it bizarre and extremely rare. "The horrific nature of it is probably one-of-a-kind in Canadian history," Day said.
Righto. Yeah. Okay. We’s definitely got some fucked-up people livin’ on this planet. Jeffrey Dahmer eat yer heart out. This guy is insane and beyond the pale. There’s a horror movie right there; a half hour of truly horrifying, blood-curdling madness. That poor young victim, what a way to go out! Those poor witnesses, you’d be traumatised for life!
STOP PRESS! As of Wednesday August 6 further details have been revealed:
A police officer at the scene reported seeing the attacker hacking off pieces of the victim's body and eating them, according to a police tape leaked on the internet.
Li was scheduled to appear Tuesday to determine whether he should undergo psychiatric testing, but the judge in Portage La Prairie adjourned the hearing for a short recess to allow a legal aid lawyer to confer with him. Since his arrest, Li has declined to speak to prosecutors and his court-appointed lawyer.
When asked again by the judge after the recess if he wanted a lawyer, Li shook his head and then quietly said "please kill me", The Canadian Press reported. Li's remark was heard by reporters and confirmed by court clerks, but was not acknowledged by the judge. He is due back in court September 8.
Officers at the scene of the bus attack discovered a plastic bag containing an ear, nose and part of a mouth in Li's pocket, according to a police report submitted by prosecutor Joyce Dalmyn as evidence supporting a request for the psychological test.
The night of the deadly attack, Dalmyn said, the only response officers received from Li was: "I have to stay on the bus forever".
Apparently the man has had a history of mental illness but had refused to recieve treatment. A woman who admitted to have hosted the man for Christmas dinner two years earlier described him as "definitely schizophrenic, probably paranoid schizophrenic." He was married and was an Chinese immigrant who settled in Winnipeg four years ago, then two years ago abandoned his wife to move to Edmonton. His wife reluctantly followed. Imagine what's going through her mind at the moment.

Those long bus rides can be awfully dull, I guess entertainment is where you find it...ok that was in real poor taste but seriously how demented is that scenario? Certainly it belongs on the big screen and not in real life.

Doesn't look normal to me when he just "dropped the head and went back and started cutting the body back up."
This is so awful... imagine the people who loved the young kid waiting at the bus stop only to know that he was continuously stabbed and cut into pieces by someone he didn't even knew.

I would imagine there are at least 38 people who will now have nightmares every day for the rest of their lives. Tragic.

When this little trick turned up on CNN I immediately had to read it.
This kind of quality just isn't found in society that much anymore, it really isn't.
I mean - sure we got Marines killing their pregnant girlfriends/wives/rape-victims constantly, but this kind of real, honest-to-goodness madness, is just so uncommon.
I'm so excited to see what this guy offers up as his "motivation" or "excuse" here. I'm sure it'll be classic.
Thank you Bus Head-Hunter, you've totally made my weekend.

I do believe,much to the chagrin of Anonymous I'm sure, that this horrific senseless act could have been prevented with some forethought for the safety of bus passengers everywhere.
