The man who beheaded a fellow passenger on a Greyhound bus in 2008 will not be allowed to leave a mental health centre on guided visits into Selkirk, but could see some changes in supervision.
Vince Li's case was before a provincial review board on Monday.
Li was found not criminally responsible in March 2009 for killing Tim McLean in July 2008.
Li's doctors told the board Monday that he is making progress and responding to medication.
They recommended he be given more freedom, even guided visits to Selkirk.
That was denied by the board in a decision Thursday.
But some of the Li's restrictions are being relaxed.
Last year, Li was granted supervised walks on the grounds of the Selkirk Mental Health Centre, where he is housed. Those could be extended from one hour to full days and the number of staff supervising Li could also be reduced to one person, according to the board's ruling Thursday. Currently, Li is being supervised on outdoor walks by three staff members.
"(Li) is to be escorted at all times on a one-to-one basis by a staff member who is equipped with either a two-way radio or cell phone," said the board in its decision Thursday.
The Selkirk Mental Health Centre can still weigh in on the board's ruling.
