What kind of mental disorder could Vince Weiguang Li have?

Question

Vince Weiguang Li is the man who beheaded an innocent passenger on a greyhound bus in Canada.

He is currently undergoing a psychiatritic evaluation.

But I was just wondering, what kind of mental disorder could he have?I know it is all speculation but if you had to guess based on what we know what do you think he has?

Please, only serious and respectful answers please, he is a human being also and deserves dignity as well, if you honestly know nothing about psychology do not bother.

Thanks

I do think it was paranoid schizophrenia.  Long before this happened, he believed that he was being chased and ran a red light.  Back then it was only luck that saved him from running over or into anyone.

He then took to regularly boarding Greyhound buses and "disappearing."

Before boarding a Greyhound bus one last time he spent an abnormally long time in a M&M store (which sells a lot of meat products).  I think that at this point he became even more delusional and obsessed with meat.  When he changed seats to sit with the victim, I think that the music however faint helped triggered his inner voices.  Combined with the images he saw earlier in the grocery store he acted on it.  He also said that he "could never leave the bus" which tells me that more voices were "telling him what to do."  It would also explain why he "flips" in and out of delusion.  When he comes out he wants to be "killed" as he said in court but at the same time he cannot help himself.

I really wish that we had laws that forced people like that into treatment after one life threatening incident which would have been the traffic ticket years earlier.  He was a killing waiting to happen at that point already.  This society needs to deal with mental illness really bad!
