Edmonton man accused of beheading described as a nice guy

The boss of an Edmonton man accused of beheading 22-year-old Tim McLean on a Greyhound bus was shocked when he heard about the incident saying he never thought of him as a violent man.

Vince Weiguang Li, from Edmonton, Alta., is facing a second degree murder charge in the death of McLean.

CTV News has learned that Li delivered newspapers for the Edmonton Journal and the Edmonton Sun in the Clareview and Concordia neighbourhoods.

Li's boss, Vincent Augert, tells CTV News that he was surprised to learn of the incident because he thought of Li as a nice guy.

Augert said he is still reeling from the shocking news.

According to the Edmonton Journal Li told his employer he had a job interview in Winnipeg and was not heard from again.

Li is in custody under video-surveillance in Winnipeg. He next court date is Tuesday in Portage la Prairie.

Li never said a word when he appeared before a judge Friday in Portage la Prairie.

The 40-year-old walked into the courtroom with his head down and kept quiet during the entire proceedings.

Li was guarded by RCMP officers and had a heavily-taped right hand and a swollen face.

Li did not reply when the judge asked if he was going to get a lawyer. He did nod slightly when asked if he was exercising his right not to speak.

The Crown has asked for a psychiatric assessment but the judge said he wanted Li to talk to a lawyer first.

Crown Attorney Larry Hodgson described the court appearance to CTV Newsnet from Portage la Prairie, Man.

Hodgson said that Li seemed to understand what the judge was saying to him.

"He responded with a nod at the appropriate time," the lawyer said.

Hodgson said as far as he knew, Li has not contacted anyone since the time of his arrest.

The matter was adjourned to Aug. 5, when the Crown will once again ask for a psychiatric assessment.

Sounds like the guy just snapped. I wonder if anyone will find out why. It won't be any comfort to the victims family though

Sad sad situation all the way around.

I feel so horribly for the family of this young man. to have to read details like this and then have the reporters ALL over them all the time. there is facebook group started by the family and in there they mentioned that they can't even leave their home because the reporteres are basically camped out in front. sickening. I wish they would leave that poor family alone.

lizbud - those details came from an RCMP communications tape that was for internal use only. It was NEVER to be made public.

I wonder who the creep was that leaked it! More horror for the family.

I hope the police can remove the reporters...that is just sick.

It seems like the media is getting way more "story" than is really necicary. I wonder what the facination is with reporting disturbing events of this nature. They should go report on some kittens that found new homes or something
