A man on a Greyhound bus travelling across the Canadian Prairies has killed and decapitated a fellow passenger. An eyewitness said the victim was stabbed 50 or 60 times by the man sitting next to him, who then severed his head with a large knife.
The driver pulled over and passengers fled from the bus, bracing the door to keep the attacker inside. A 40-year-old man was arrested after a stand-off lasting several hours and remains in police custody.
"All of a sudden, we all heard this scream, this bloodcurdling scream," passenger Garnet Caton said. "The attacker was standing up right over the top of the guy with a large hunting knife - a survival, Rambo knife - holding the guy and continually stabbing him... in the chest area," Mr Caton added.
The attack continued as passengers fled the bus and waited for police on a desolate stretch of the TransCanada Highway near Portage la Prairie, Manitoba. Mr Caton, the bus driver and a trucker who had stopped at the scene boarded the vehicle to see if the victim was still alive.
"When we came back on the bus ... he was cutting the guy's head off and pretty much gutting him up," Mr Caton said. "There was no rage in him ... It was just like he was a robot or something," he added.
The RCMP have not identified the suspect or the victim.
