Man who beheaded bus passenger could get his freedom later this week
WINNIPEG – A schizophrenic man who beheaded and cannibalized a fellow passenger on a Greyhound bus could know later this week whether he will be granted his freedom.
Manitoba’s Criminal Code Review Board says it will decide in the coming days whether Will Baker, formerly known as Vince Li, should be granted an absolute discharge.
Baker was found not criminally responsible in the killing of Tim McLean in 2008.
Baker’s doctor, Jeffery Waldman, told the board that he is confident Baker will remain on his medication and will continue to work with his treatment team if released.
