Decapitation killer to stay in psych ward

WINNIPEG, Manitoba, June 3 (UPI) -- The man who cut off the head of a fellow Greyhound bus passenger in Canada will stay locked in a psychiatric ward for at least the next year, an official says.

Criminal Code Review Board Chairman John Stefaniuk says Vince Li will be kept in a secure area of the Winnipeg Health Science Center or at the Selkirk Mental Health Center, the Canadian Broadcasting Corp. reported Wednesday.

Stefaniuk said the board agreed with testimony given at a hearing this week by a psychiatrist that Li must remain locked up under the strictest possible security while being treated, the CBC said. Li's case will be reviewed in a year.

Li was found not criminally responsible for the stabbing and beheading of Timothy McLean, 22, last July.
