The man behind a brutal random attack on a Greyhound bus near Portage la Prairie in 2008 has been given an absolute discharge.
Will Baker (formerly Vince Li) has been freed from any court-ordered responsibilities, the Criminal Code Review Board ruled late Friday afternoon.
That means he will no longer be subject to any conditions or monitoring to ensure he takes his medication.
The review board said it is "of the opinion that the weight of evidence does not substantiate that Mr. Baker poses significant threat to the safety of the public."
It based its decision on expert witnesses like Dr. Jeffrey Waldman, and submissions by counsel.
Waldman told the review board on Monday that Baker must take daily medications and continue seeing a psychiatrist, and believes he will do so.
Defence lawyer Alan Libman maintained Baker has been "a model patient" and that there is no legal reason why he shouldn't be granted an absolute discharge.
Baker's gradual increases in freedom have included escorted passes out of the Selkirk Mental Health Centre, unescorted absences, a move to a secure facility in Winnipeg and most recently a transition to independent, community-based living in a supervised group home in the city.
Baker has been described as a "model patient" who no longer suffers from the type of issues that triggered the July 2008 attack near Portage la Prairie. He was found not criminally responsible for the killing, dismemberment and cannibalization of 22-year-old Tim McLean after several medical experts said he was suffering from command hallucinations linked to untreated schizophrenia at the time of the unprovoked attack.

Bursary named after Greyhound bus victim​

The Canadian Press · Posted: Jan 18, 2011 2:58 PM MST | Last Updated: January 18, 2011

The Manitoba government is setting up a bursary in memory of a young man who was beheaded on a Greyhound bus.
The Tim McLean Memorial Bursary Fund will provide money to aboriginal students enrolled in trade apprenticeship programs.
McLean was killed on a Greyhound bus near Portage la Prairie, Man. in 2008. The man who killed him, Vince Li, is being held indefinitely in a psychiatric hospital.
McLean was a carnival worker who was also aspiring to be a motor-vehicle mechanic. At the time of his death, he was returning from working at a carnival in Edmonton. He was band member of Peguis First Nation.
Aboriginal Affairs Minister Eric Robinson said Tuesday the bursary will help other people realize McLean's dream and keep his memory alive.
The amount of each bursary will depend on how many people are chosen every year, as well as on how much money its endowment fund earns.

Greyhound passenger who beheaded, cannibalized passenger is granted freedom​

WINNIPEG, Manitoba -- A Canadian man who was found not criminally responsible for beheading and cannibalizing a fellow passenger on a Greyhound bus has been granted his freedom.

Manitoba’s Criminal Code Review Board announced Friday it has given Will Baker, formerly known as Vince Li, an absolute discharge, meaning he is longer subject to monitoring.

Baker, a diagnosed schizophrenic, killed Tim McLean, a young carnival worker who was a complete stranger to Baker, in 2008. A year later he was found not criminally responsible due to mental illness.


Mary Goska, the Crown attorney, argued Baker remains a threat to the public if off his medication regimen, according to the Winnipeg Sun.

“We should not lose sight of what occurred because it does speak to the threat,” she said. “It’s clear that he can be a danger in certain circumstances.”

McLean’s mother, Carol de Delley, has been outspoken against granting Baker freedom, saying there would be no way to ensure he continued to take his medication.


She declined comment in a post on Facebook Friday, saying “I have no words.”

Baker was initially kept in a secure wing of a psychiatric hospital but was given more freedom every year.

He has been living on his own in a Winnipeg apartment since November, but was still subject to monitoring to ensure he took his medication.

Baker’s lawyer, Alan Libman, told the Winnipeg Sun that Baker remains “committed to taking his medication and working with his treatment team.”


Baker’s doctor, Jeffrey Waldman, told the board earlier this week that he is confident Baker will remain on his medication and will continue to work with his treatment team if released. Waldman testified that Baker knows it’s the medication that keeps his illness at bay.

In a written decision, the review board said it “is of the opinion that the weight of evidence does not substantiate that Mr. Baker poses a significant threat to the safety of the public.”

Waldman said Baker plans to visit his native China if released but would live in Winnipeg for the next two to three years. He is on the waiting list for a post-secondary training program and plans on establishing a career in the city. Baker emigrated to Canada from China in 2001 and became a Canadian citizen four years

Baker sat next to the 22-year-old McLean on the bus after the young man smiled at him and asked how he was doing.

Baker said he heard the voice of God telling him to kill the young carnival worker or “die immediately.”

He repeatedly stabbed McLean while the young man fought for his life. As passengers fled the bus, Baker continued stabbing and mutilating the body before he was arrested. He severed McLean’s head, displaying it to some of the passengers outside the bus, witnesses said.

The Supreme Court of Canada ruled in 1999 that a review board must order an absolute discharge if a person doesn’t pose a significant threat to public safety.


The ruling added there must be clear evidence of a significant risk to the public for the review board to continue imposing conditions after a person is found not criminally responsible.

Opposition Conservative member of Parliament James Bezan also criticized Baker’s release. He said earlier in the week it would be an insult to de Delley and McLean’s other relatives.

Baker’s defenders include Chris Summerville, executive director of the Manitoba Schizophrenia Society, who has met and worked with him over the years.

“He is no longer a violent person,” Summerville said. “I will say, yes, he absolutely understands that he has to (take his medication) and has a desire to live a responsible, moral life and never succumb to psychotic episodes and not to hurt anybody ever again.”
