Try to get along with your neighbors

Sometimes it’s best not to engage in neighborhood battles with neighbors. You never know which of your neighbors are brutally insane.

Man beheads neighbor with an axe in a posh London suburb today.

A man was beheaded in a frenzied and prolonged axe attack in a London street today.

The axeman, smartly-dressed and in his thirties, felled his victim with one blow and then struck repeatedly “as if he was chopping wood”.

The assault lasted several minutes near the Hampstead Theatre in Belsize Park. The attacker ignored his victim’s screams and the pleas of two women passers-by and workmen. He stopped when police arrived. He then put down the axe near the body. He was described as looking “emotionless and cool” throughout.

When asked why he had done it, he told officers: “It’s complicated. It’s private.”

You just never know. In fact, you may want to go return that weed-whacker you borrowed last fall.
