PORTAGE LA PRAIRIE, Manitoba, Aug. 3 (UPI) -- Leaked police scanner tapes indicate the man charged with knifing a fellow bus passenger to death near Winnipeg, Canada, last week ate his victim's flesh.

The police radio conversations, posted on the Liveleak.com Web site, included comments by one Royal Canadian Mounted Police officer that "Badger," the code name given to suspect Vincent Li of Edmonton, was "at the back of the bus, hacking off pieces and eating it."

The same RCMP officer said "Badger" was "defiling" the body of stabbing victim Tim McLean, 22, of Winnipeg.

Witnesses say Li, 40, stabbed seatmate McLean with a long knife Wednesday aboard a Greyhound bus traveling a desolate portion of the Trans-Canada Highway in an apparently unprovoked attack, severing his victim's head an displaying it to horrified passengers.

He is scheduled to make his next court appearance in Potage la Prairie, Manitoba, Tuesday, officials said.
