OTTAWA, Oct 6, 2008 (AFP) - An immigrant from China accused of stabbing, gutting and beheading a fellow passenger on a bus traveling across Canada in July was Monday declared fit to stand trial.

Vince Weiguang Li, 40, of Edmonton, Alberta faces a second-degree murder charge in the death of Tim McLean, 22, aboard a Greyhound bus as it approached Winnipeg, Manitoba, in western Canada.

He was ordered last month by a court in Portage la Prairie, Manitoba to undergo a psychiatric assessment.

After Li's lawyer presented results to the court Monday, local media said the case would go to trial. Details of the findings were not made public.

Last month, prosecutors said Li appeared to be eating pieces of his victim when police surrounded the bus on a desolate stretch of highway about 90 kilometers (55 miles) west of Winnipeg immediately following the July 30 attack.

Li, who became a Canadian citizen last year, allegedly decapitated McLean, taunted police and bystanders with the head, and pocketed the victim's nose, lips and ear, the court heard.

The case resumes on November 6.
