PORTAGE LA PRAIRIE, Man. - A Manitoba judge has temporarily delayed a court hearing for a man accused of stabbing and beheading a fellow passenger on a Greyhound bus.

Vince Weiguang Li, 40, is charged with second-degree murder in the death last Wednesday of Tim McLean. The judge in Portage la Prairie has given Li time to speak with a legal aid lawyer. It's not clear yet when Li will appear again in court.

Witnesses have said that a passenger stabbed and beheaded McLean as the bus approached the community west of Winnipeg.

Li, a former newspaper delivery man from Edmonton, has not entered a plea on the charge.

McLean, a carnival worker, was remembered by his family as a free spirit who warmed the hearts of those around him with his infectious laugh.
