PORTAGE LA PRAIRIE, Man. - A man accused of beheading a fellow passenger on a Greyhound bus in southern Manitoba will stand trial for second-degree murder.
The decision was made today at a Portage la Prairie court hearing for Vincent Li, who is accused of killing Tim McLean in July.
Defence lawyers Alan Libman and Gordon Bates say the trial will hinge on whether their client should be deemed criminally responsible.
The lawyers and the Crown have agreed not to release details of Li's court-ordered psychiatric assessment because it could be prejudicial to his trial.
They also say Li is co-operating with authorities and is not under a suicide watch.
The case is to return to court Nov. 6.
