68 year old man from Germany died in a chainsaw accident on Tuesday while he and his neighbour were pruning a tree in his garden in the Elviria area of Marbella.
Diario Sur reports that the victim’s arm was severed when the neighbour lost control of the saw, and he bled to death shortly afterwards, despite attempts by local police and emergency services to stem the flow of blood.
The 48 year old neighbour, who is also German, now faces charges of involuntary manslaughter. He is understood to have told police in his statement that the accident happened when the saw’s chain jammed.
