SHE FAILED TO ATTEND HOME DEOPT'S FREE HOME IMPROVEMENT WORKSHOPS

Had she attended those Home Depot classes, she probably would have learned that other power tools work better than a sawzall for decapitating her husband. Some Mexican drug cartel killers use chainsaws.

A woman has been accused of trying to saw her sleeping husband's head off with a power saw.

Police were called to Hoyt Avenue in Everett, Washington, on Friday, and found the unnamed 36-year-old still alive but his head and neck covered in bloody cuts.

When officers arrived at the family residence they allegedly heard the husband screaming at his wife: 'It was you, it was you - you tried to cut my head off. You're going to jail.'

Yesterday the woman, also unidentified,appeared in court on a charge of domestic violence assault and a judge ordered her bail to be kept at $250,000.

When interviewed by police the 43-year-old insisted that she had grabbed the power saw in the dead of night as she thought she heard an intruder escape from her daughter's window.

However, sergeant Robert Goetz indicated that there was no sign of a break-in - a child lock prevented the window in the child's room from opening more than a few inches.

In addition, both the front and back doors were locked from the inside.

He said: 'There was no evidence there was an intruder.'

The husband, who told officers that he woke to find the power tool whirring at his neck, was taken to hospital and treated for the lacerations.

He said he switched on a light to illuminate the dark room and his wife was menacingly holding the DIY instrument.

The husband claimed that his wife also cut him with a hatchet and has been released from Providence Regional Medical Center in Everett.

Officers discovered smeared blood on the suspect's clothes and forearm, according to court records.

She insisted that she had been wounded on her arm, however police found no freshly made marks.

Also blood was discovered on the carpet and on the walls inside the house.

A Sawzall (a trademark of the Milwaukee Electric Tool Company) with blood on it was recovered from the bedroom floor and a hatchet was found on a kitchen shelf.

Police records noted that it was wet and appeared to have been washed, and that neither alcohol nor drugs appeared to be a factor in the incident.
