Suicide and murder by saw

A 24-year-old man in Cologne, Germany decapitated himself with a chainsaw after stabbing his father to death, according to an article in today's Deutsche Presse-Agentur. This news is on the heels of a Los Angeles Times report from yesterday that a man in La Habra decapitated a woman with a circular saw and then unsuccessfully attempted the same on himself but died anyway. Grisly and sad, yet curious. Link to DPA article, Link to LA Times article (via Fortean Times)
