"That was unusual for him not to call back and then when he didn't show up for work on Tuesday we got worried," said Augert. He said he called him back and left him a message asking him for the dates he needed off but never heard back from him. He used to come to work every day and pick up his papers and get them to all his customers without any problems," said Augert.Īugert said that Li called him two weeks ago saying that he needed a day or two off to go to Winnipeg for a job interview at the end of July. "I had no odd suspicions about him at all.
We would've had no reason to let him go before all this happened." Augert said Li worked since last July and never had any problems with him. "He was very punctual and always cleanly dressed," he told The Associated Press. Vincent Augert, an independent contractor who distributes newspapers in Edmonton, said that Li, was one of his most reliable carriers. Li's employer said in an interview Saturday that he was in shock to learn that his "model employee" has been accused of the grisly attack. Greyhound spokeswoman Abby Wambaugh said there were 37 passengers on the bus at the time. The bloody killing occurred as some passenger were napping and others watching "The Legend of Zorro" on television screens inside the bus. He then severed the man's head, displayed it and began hacking at the body. Passengers said that shortly after they reboarded following a break, the suspect - for no apparent reason - stabbed the man sitting next to him several dozen times as others fled in horror. Vince Weiguang Li, 40, faces second-degree murder charges for the murder of a 22-year-old man, who friends and family identified as Tim McLean. Officers responded to a desolate stretch of the TransCanada Highway about 19km from Portage La Prairie, Manitoba, after the bloody killing late Wednesday on the Greyhound bus travelling from Edmonton, Alberta to Winnipeg, Manitoba. The RCMP issued a statement saying it was aware that portions of the radio transmission had been leaked to the internet but that it had not given permission to use the tape because they are "operational police communications" that are not meant for public consumption.
"Okay, Badger's at the back of the bus, hacking off pieces and eating it," he says at the end of the approximately 80-second recording. In the tape of police radio transmissions, a Royal Canadian Mounted Police officer refers to the attacker as "Badger" and says he is armed with a knife and a pair of scissors and "is defiling the body at the front of the bus as we speak."
