With knife violence on the rise isn't it about time we register knives? After all knives kill people, people don't kill people.
Passenger beheaded on Canada bus
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.
The bus, with 37 passengers and a driver aboard, was travelling from Edmonton, Alberta, to Winnipeg, Manitoba.
"All of a sudden, we all heard this scream, this bloodcurdling scream," passenger Garnet Caton told CBC television.
"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.

It was a Rambo style survival knife that killed the kid. I hope they find the knife that did it. That knife needs to be destroyed. I bet it even had a serrated edge on the back. We've got to get those things off the streets.
This was truly tragic and I don't know how any parent can deal with a loss like this.
