In loving Memory Of Tim McLean
Tim was tragically murderd on a bus in Canada. How anyone could have done this terrible thing is beyond me. It was such awful way to go. The evil person who did this should die the same way. Tim was only 22 and had his whole life ahead of him and thats now been taken away.
Knowing that the eyes of God watch over all of us
And he has reached his hand down to receive Tim
And we can forever hold Tim in our hearts by remembering him
As Jesus did not die in vain neither shall Tim
We will all be here carry on in his name to bring change to
make our countries and world a better place for the
Loved ones Tim leaves behind~
~My deepest Sympathies to his family and friends~
R.I.P. Tim , sleep with the Angels as you are one of them now. xxxxxxxxx
The family of a Canadian man beheaded by a fellow passenger on a bus have spoken of a little guy with a big heart.
Tim McLean, 22, was returning home to Winnipeg from a job as a carnival worker in Edmonton when he was killed by a man who stabbed him 50 times and then cut off his head with a huge knife.
A policeman reported seeing the attacker hacking off pieces of the victim and eating them, according to a tape leaked on the internet.
Newspaper deliveryman Vince Weiguang Li, 40, of Edmonton is charged with second-degree murder.
The victim's uncle, Alex McLean, reading a statement from the family, said: "He was a little guy with a heart bigger than you could know.
"Tim spent his life travelling and meeting new people, and always saw the good in everyone. He had the most infectious giggle.
"You could hear him laughing a mile away. It didn't matter what kind of a day you were having because, when you heard him laugh, you couldn't help but join in."
In the tape of police radio transmissions, a Royal Canadian Mounted police officer referred to the attacker as "Badger" and said he was armed with a knife and a pair of scissors, and "is defiling the body at the front of the bus".
"Okay, Badger's at the back of the bus, hacking off pieces and eating it," he said at the end of the recording.
Police responded to a call to a desolate stretch of the TransCanada Highway about 20km from Portage La Prairie, Manitoba, after the bloody killing on the Greyhound bus travelling from Edmonton to Winnipeg.
Friends have started a Facebook group to remember him.
Passengers said that soon after they re-boarded the bus after a break, the suspect - for no apparent reason - stabbed Mr McLean dozens of times as others fled in horror.
He then severed Mr McLean's head and displayed it.
The Outcome
Vince Li not criminally responsible for beheading
Vince Li has been found not criminally responsible for the gruesome murder and beheading of Tim McLean on a Greyhound bus last summer because he is mentally ill.
"These grotesque acts are appalling," Justice John Scurfield said in Thursday's ruling. "However, the acts themselves and the context in which they were committed are strongly suggestive of a mental disorder.
"He did not appreciate the act he committed was morally wrong. He believed he was acting in self defence and that he had been commanded by God to do so."
Both the Crown and the defence agreed that Li is a schizophrenic who was suffering a psychotic episode when he killed the 22-year-old McLean.
Li, 40, will now be remanded to a secure psychiatric facility where he will receive treatment. A review panel will decide in the next six weeks which facility he will be transferred to, depending on whether he is considered a risk to others or to himself.
His case must also be reviewed on an annual basis by a mental health review board.
"That doesn't sit well with McLean's family," reports CTV's Jill Macyshon, who says they want Li to spend his life in prison, demanding "a life for a life."
The review board will look at police reports from the crime scene and review transcripts of previous hearings, while also listening to evidence from psychiatrists who will treat Li about his current mental condition, treatment plan and prognosis.
"The public needs to know that when a person is found not criminally responsible, it does not automatically follow that a person will be released into the community," Scurfield said in his ruling "People who are found not criminally responsible but who continue to pose a danger to the community may be kept in a locked institution for the rest of their lives."
Li's trial took only two days and heard from only two witnesses. Both were psychiatrists who testified Li suffers from schizophrenia. They testified Li heard what he thought was the voice of God last July, telling him to kill McLean or risk being killed himself.
Dr. Jonathan Rootenberg said Li was psychotic and was in no state to tell the difference between right and wrong.
"The attack was sudden and came as Li caught a glimpse of the sunlight and heard God's voice telling him that McLean was a threat," Rootenberg testified. "The voice said, `Do it now ... If you don't, he's going to kill you.'"
Legal analyst and criminal lawyer Steven Skurka says the decision shows that the Canadian criminal justice system is humane and recognizes that those in psychotic states cannot distinguish right and wrong.
"We can't simply look at the actions we have to look at his mental state. We don't punish people who don't appreciate the nature and quality of their actions. I think that's a very positive feature of our system," Skurka told CTV Newsnet after the decision was handed down.
No criminal record
With the NCR declaration, Li will not have a criminal record. But on the agreement of both the Crown and the defence, his DNA will be put into a registry so that it will be on file in the event Li is one day released and is suspected of another crime.
"It's a responsible position for the defence to take because clearly, they're concerned about public safety," Slurka said.
While the McLean family knew to expect Thursday's ruling, McLean's mother Carol deDelley says she will push forward with what she calls "Tim's Law."
She wants those who are found to be not criminally responsible to have criminal records and to be treated in prison not in a mental facility.
DeDelley told reporters outside the courthouse Thursday that NCR should be changed to what she calls "NPA."
"That would be Not Psychologically Accountable but still criminally responsible. Because a crime was still committed her, a murder still occurred. And NCR seems to negate that fact. At least that's how it feels to us, "she said.
She also wondered why Li, who was born in China, was granted citizenship even after he had been diagnosed with schizophrenia.
DeDelley added she doesn't hate Li; she thinks he's dangerous and should be "kept away from the public for the rest of his natural life."
Would you call this justice I dont think so it was cold blooded murder. Hope is poor parents will fight for the right justice for him.
Sleep peacefully Tim xxxx

Today is very special Tim,
It comes by once a year.
It’s the day you went to Heaven
And the day you left me here.
I know I should be happy Tim,
You’re in your Heavenly home.
But instead I feel so empty
And oh so all alone.
Yes today is very special
The day you grew your wings.
You left so very quickly
You didn’t take your things.
Instead you left me crying,
Yet hoping all the while
That someday I will remember
This day with a smile.

If I Had One Last Day
If I had one last day
To tell you what's inside
I'd tell you that I'm sorry
For all the times I've lied
I'd tell you that I need you
To hold my hand today
I'd tell you that I love you
I'd ask you, please, to stay
You'd look at me and smile
The way you always would
And say "I'd love to stay,
If only I really could"
Then you'd laugh the way you did
Whenever I was blue
You'd wipe my tears and whisper softly,
"Don't cry, I love you too"
If I had one last day
I'd love you from the start
I'd stop hiding how I feel
I'd say what's in my heart
If I had one last day,
I'd say my last good-bye
And that even though you are far away,
In my heart, you'll never die.
♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥
To Those I Love And Those Who Love Me
When I'm gone, release me, let me go;
I have so many things to see and do.
Don't tie yourself to me with tears.
Be happy that we had so many years.
I gave you love.
You can only guess how much that
You gave me in happiness.
I thank you for your love you each have shown.
But it is time I travel alone.
So grieve a while for me, grieve you must;
Then let your grief be comfort by trust.
It's only for a little while we must part.
So bless the memories within your heart.
I won't be far away, for life goes on.
So if you need me, call and I'll come.
Though you can't see or touch me, I'll be near.
If you listen with your heart, you'll hear
All my love around you soft and clear.
And then when you must come this way alone,
I will greet you with a smile and a
"Welcome Home!"
