karate_woman Posted June 12, 2003 Posted June 12, 2003 (edited) The Toronto Star, June 12, 2003 This isn't martial arts related, other than you never know what kind of weapon you might be attacked with, and on an avoidance level, why it is best not to feud with your neighbours.... Woman's hands cut off with machete Single mother undergoes surgery Neighbour to appear in court HENRY STANCU STAFF REPORTER A single mother of five had her hands hacked off in a machete attack at her Scarborough home yesterday. As the 44-year-old underwent surgery to reattach her hands, severed at the wrists, police charged her 38-year-old neighbour, also a single mother of five, in the attack.

monkeygirl Posted June 12, 2003 Posted June 12, 2003 *queasy* Oh that's nasty...what on earth could possess someone to cut off somebody else's hands? Too bad the article didn't have more details on that... 1st dan & Asst. Instructor TKD 2000-2003No matter the tune...if you can rock it, rock it hard.
Tombstone Posted June 12, 2003 Posted June 12, 2003 Not sure if I understood it right but he only got charged with aggravated assault?

Drunken Monkey Posted June 12, 2003 Posted June 12, 2003 um, just want to point out. if that's from the star newspaper in uk, you should be aware that it is probably the trashiest paper on the market... post count is directly related to how much free time you have, not how intelligent you are."When you have to kill a man it costs nothing to be polite."
karate_woman Posted June 12, 2003 Author Posted June 12, 2003 um, just want to point out. if that's from the star newspaper in uk, you should be aware that it is probably the trashiest paper on the market...No, it is the Toronto Star (Canada), a mainstream newspaper.

karate_woman Posted June 13, 2003 Author Posted June 13, 2003 Well according to the TV news ("The New Vr"), the attacker accused the victim of calling the Children's Aid Society; four of the accused's children were taken away moments earlier.

Tombstone Posted June 13, 2003 Posted June 13, 2003 Well then I guess I can understand why he did it then. Taking away someones children is about the worst thing you can do. Don't get the wrong idea, I'm not saying it was the right thing to do.
karate_woman Posted June 13, 2003 Author Posted June 13, 2003 Both the attacker and victim were single Moms that lived next to each other. Judging by the attacker's "solution" to having the CAS remove her children, it sounds like a good idea they were taken in the first place; she sounds unstable to say the least.

Drunken Monkey Posted June 13, 2003 Posted June 13, 2003 oops, didn't see the bit at the top. sorry. post count is directly related to how much free time you have, not how intelligent you are."When you have to kill a man it costs nothing to be polite."
