Man Who Beheaded Passenger on Greyhound Bus in Canada Freed

As someone who frequently travels by bus, the 2008 beheading of Tim McLean on a bus travelling from Edmonton to Winnipeg has always stuck with me.

Today, Will Baker (formerly known as Vince Li) the man responsible for McLean's beheading is free:

Baker was found to have been suffering from untreated schizophrenia when he stabbed, beheaded and partially cannibalized McLean.

Baker was found not criminally responsible in 2009 and spent seven years in treatment at the Selkirk Mental Health Centre before being allowed to move to Winnipeg, where he was treated at Health Sciences Centre. In 2016, he moved into independent living, but he still had to abide by certain rules including taking medications and going to counselling.

The board's decision means he will no longer be subject to any conditions or monitoring to ensure he takes his medication.

What are the odds that Baker will continue to take his medication? What happens if he discontinues?

I'm not unsympathetic to the plight of the mentally ill, but even if Baker isn't criminally responsible it doesn't change the fact he beheaded a man and cannibalized him. He represents a grave threat to the public. His act should preclude him from being reintegrated into society.

I, for one, won't be surprised if he kills again.
