On a Greyhound bus traveling through the open stretch of Manitoba in July 2008, 22-year-old Tim McLean sat quietly listening to music, unaware that the man who had just boarded would become his killer. Without warning, fellow passenger Vince Li pulled out a large knife and, in front of horrified passengers, stabbed Tim repeatedly in the neck before decapitating him and holding up his severed head for all to see. As passengers fled in terror and police surrounded the bus, Li remained inside, mutilating the body and consuming parts of it. The attack was as brutal as it was senseless—and what came next ignited nationwide outrage: Vince Li was found not criminally responsible due to mental illness and later granted absolute freedom. The fallout would challenge Canada's legal system, public safety policies, and the very definition of justice.
