<div>Vince Li, who beheaded a fellow passenger on a Greyhound bus in Manitoba in 2008, may soon be allowed extended walks on the grounds of his mental hospital.
Li is responding to treatment, is "co-operative and polite" and has provided "absolutely no difficulty" to staff at the Selkirk Mental Health Centre, where he has been locked up since 2008, Dr. Steven Kremer told a review board Monday.
"Mr. Li recognizes that he has a mental illness ... and recognizes that he requires medication."
Li was found not criminally responsible for the gruesome killing of Tim McLean, a young carnival worker, on board a Greyhound bus three years ago near Portage la Prairie, Man.
The judge found that Li was an untreated schizophrenic who heard voices telling him to kill McLean, a man he had never met who happened to be sitting beside him. Li was sentenced to a secure wing of the mental hospital. His treatment and conditions are reviewed annually.
Initially, he wasn't allowed outdoors, but last year the Criminal Review Board of Manitoba granted him short supervised walks on the unfenced hospital grounds.
Restricted to daylight
Kremer asked the review board Monday to allow the hospital to gradually expand those walks
