A man aboard a Greyhound bus travelling across Canada calmly stabbed another man dozens of times and decapitated him, pausing briefly to display the head to horrified passengers before proceeding to disembowel his victim, witnesses said today.

Passengers fled the bus in panic, and police said later their quick evacuation may have kept the killer from turning on others.

A 40-year-old man, who was not identified, was arrested for the murder on the bus, which was travelling overnight Wednesday from Edmonton, Alberta, to Winnipeg, Manitoba, Royal Canadian Mounted Police Sgt. Steve Colwell told a news conference.

Colwell said police apprehended the man when he broke a window and tried to escape from the bus by jumping out. Authorities declined to name the victim and provided little details about the stabbing.

Colwell said they didn't know what prompted the attack and said they had not yet interviewed the man as of mid Thursday afternoon. He did not explain the delay.

Passengers said the attacker did not seem to know the victim, who appeared to be about 19 years old, and that he wore sunglasses throughout the attack although it was the middle of the night.

Passenger Garnet Caton said the victim was sleeping with headphones on before he was stabbed 40 or 50 times by the man sitting next to him.

"We heard this bloodcurdling scream and turned around, and the guy was standing up, stabbing this guy repeatedly, like 40 or 50 times," Caton said from a hotel in Brandon, Manitoba, where he and other passengers had been taken to rest.

Caton said the bus stopped and the passengers scrambled to disembark while the suspect allegedly began methodically carving up the man's body.

The attacker severed the man's head with a large hunting knife and held the head up by the door for others to see. "When he was attacking him, he was calm ... like he was at the beach," Caton said. "There was no rage or, or anything. He was just like a robot stabbing the guy." Continued...

Yep, Americans are the only violent people on Earth, glad there were no wars or horrible acts of violence before the good ole' USA. Common knowledge really. He must have been a New Yorker.

I actually did think that when I first heard. It's bizarre and scary and doesn't happen in Canada. My mom works with the mom of one of the witnesses. So my mom was telling my dad and I overheard all the details. It's really fucked if you ask me.

Yah, there's no violent crime in canada.

That pig farmer in B.C. never existed either.

robert pickton. ya. mentioned that and homolka and bernardo in the other thread. It just doesn't happen often so when it does it's really shocking.

it seems like the conditions that lead to this kind of behavior are rarer in canada than in america. we have places that are practically breeding grounds for people with deep emotional problems.
