WINNIPEG — The mother of a man beheaded by a fellow bus passenger in Manitoba says her son’s killer is seeking an absolute discharge nine years after he was found not criminally responsible. Baker killed Tim McLean during a bus trip along the Trans-Canada Highway near Portage la Prairie in July 2008. At his last review board hearing, Baker was granted the right to live on his own but would be subject to monitoring and random drug tests. Baker sat next to the 22-year-old McLean on the bus after the young man smiled at him and asked how he was doing. As passengers fled the bus, Baker continued stabbing and mutilating the body before he was arrested.
