Man beheaded on bus to Winnipeg


Recommended Posts

BRANDON, MAN. ? A young man travelling on a Greyhound bus was stabbed to death and beheaded by a stranger in a horrifying act of apparently random violence.

The incident occurred on a bus travelling from Edmonton to Winnipeg just before 10 p.m. Wednesday.

A man of about 18 who was sleeping with headphones on was suddenly attacked by his seat mate, according to the man who sat directly in front of them.

He was stabbed repeatedly with a large hunting knife, sending blood spraying across the interior of the bus. The driver quickly pulled over and passengers fled out the front door.

The man then sawed off the victim's head and carried it to the front of the bus.

The two did not apparently know one another. The victim boarded the bus in Edmonton, one witness said, and the attacker boarded in Manitoba.

A standoff with police ensued until about 1 a.m. local time.

One man was taken into custody.

Garnet Caton, 26, was sitting in the seat in front of the attacker.

"I was just reading a book and all of a sudden I heard a guy screaming. I turned around and the guy sitting right beside me was standing up and stabbing another guy with a big Rambo knife," he said.

"Right in the throat. Repeatedly."

The man wielding the knife had a shaved head and was wearing sunglasses, he said.

"He looked totally calm. He didn't say a word I don't think to anybody on the bus ... nothing. Just totally calm."

Mr. Caton said most passengers were sleeping at the time and didn't realize what was happening.

"I screamed 'stop the bus!' ... Everybody got the hell off, and people at the front of the bus didn't really understand what was going on. It almost turned into a trample scene there, everybody trying to get off the bus. But the guy didn't care at all. He wasn't concerned with anybody but the guy he was stabbing.

"The guy was totally calm. When he brought the head he looked at us and dropped it. It was like he was having a day at the beach. He couldn't be bothered by anything else."

Sawed his head off?

Do you know the amount of effot it takes to saw through the spine and neck, and the mess it makes?

Jeez!

Speaking from experience NJ? :p

I think if he hacked away it'd be quicker, it was a hunting knife, so it may have a ridged edge.

:angry: This is just wrong. To have this happen in Canada is just shocking. Crazy ****** should be shot! Oh wait, theres no death penalty in Canada. He'll probably get 5 years in prison, then be eligible for parole.

Even with a hunting knife - the area where the shaft of the spine meets the skull contains the CNS - one of the most well protected areas of the human body - it is TOUGH. And the blood would be pumping...

Did people just ignore him or what?
