Doctor pushes for more freedom for bus killer The man responsible for Tim McLean’s gruesome death on a Greyhound bus three years ago could be taking unsupervised walks around the city of Selkirk one day. tiffany men's necklaceVince Li’s doctor, Dr. Steven Kremer, recommended to the criminal code review board Monday that the killer be granted full day passes on the grounds of the Selkirk Mental Hospital, where he is currently housed. tiffany outletAs it stands, the 43 year old Li is allowed to take two-hour-long walks on hospital grounds each day, as long as he is supervised by two security guards and a staff member. His doctor now wants the supervision gradually relaxed to one staff member, pending Li’s continued behaviour, with the walks taking place between the hours of 9 a.m. and 9 p.m. “It is another step towards Vince Li’s ultimate freedom,” McLean’s mother, Carol Dedelley said, after the hearing.

tiffany ringsLi was found not criminally responsible due to mental illness for the stabbing death of Tim McLean, a fellow passenger on a Greyhound bus travelling down a Manitoba highway on July 30th, 2008. Li decapitated and dismembered McLean's corpse, and was arrested hours later when he tried to escape through one of the bus's windows. Court heard Li suffered from paranoid schizophrenia and believed he was fighting evil. If all goes well with Li's treatment and his proposed expanded freedom, the doctor said it could mean Li would eventually go for unescorted walks off the grounds of the hospital, with the intention of reintegrating him into society one day. tiffany earrings“I don’t think it should be an incremental slow release back into society, I don’t think so,” Dedelley said, “I don’t think that he’ll ever be cured.”

His doctor said Li is taking his medication for paranoid schizophrenia, a condition the patient is now full aware of. The doctor also said while Li is not a management problem, he did have two audible hallucinations five to seven months ago, which is reason enough for McLean’s family to want him to remain locked up. “If you can’t predict and you’re not sure, why would you even give him the opportunity?” Dedelley questioned. tiffany bracelet
