I'll post the full story in a bit but until then picture this......

A 44 year old man cuts off the head of his 80 year old mother with a chainsaw............the guy is charged with attempted murder and not murder.

When police arrived at his house they found his mum's severed head lying next to an electric chainsaw and decapitated body on the settee.

NO prize (cos I aint got one!) to the person that can figure out why he wasn't charged with murder.

She was already dead when he did it.

I'm guessing they charged him with attempt because the intent was there; it's also possible that he didn't know she was already dead first, i.e. she was sleeping (or so he thought) when he did it, when, in reality, she'd had a heart attack and was dead.

Yes you're all so very clever :D

A man who thought the Germans controlled his mind, decapitated his mother with a chainsaw.
Peter Andrews, 44, was charged with the attempted murder of Joan Andrews, 80, at their Leicester home.

Andrews was charged with attempted murder as, although he intended to kill his mother, he had not done so as she had already died in her sleep.

A jury ruled he was unfit to stand trial and he was detained indefinitely in a psychiatric unit.
