What would you do if you were fighting an eviction of your property? Hire an attorney? Protest? Contact the local media? I know! How 'bout cutting off your own head with a
chainsaw!The last resident in a block of flats due to be demolished cut his own head off with a chainsaw to highlight the 'injustice' of being asked to move out, an inquest heard today.
Desperate David Phyall, 50, plugged the electric chainsaw into the mains and attached a timer to the socket.
He then wrapped sellotape around the machine's trigger to secure it in the 'on' position and tied the handle of the saw to a table leg to hold it steady.
That'll do it!
