German settles divorce with chainsaw





A 43-YEAR-OLD German decided to settle his imminent divorce by chainsawing a family home in two and making off with his half in a forklift truck.
Police in the eastern town of Sonneberg said the trained mason measured the single-storey summer house - which was some eight metres long and six metres wide - before chainsawing through the wooden roof and walls.
“The man said he was just taking his due,” a police spokesman said.

“But I don't think his wife was too pleased.”
After finishing the job, the man picked up his half with the forklift truck and drove to his brother's house where he has since been staying
