    Default Man Killed By DIY Mole-Killer

    January 12, 2007 04:43am
    Article from: Reuters


    A GERMAN pensioner who wired up a high-voltage cable to try to wipe out the moles digging up his garden killed himself instead. Uwe Werner, police spokesman in Stralsund north of Berlin, said the 63-year-old retired construction foreman was found dead in the garden of his weekend house in Zingst next to a 380-volt cable and metal spikes rammed into the ground.

    "The moles survived," Mr Werner said, noting the voltage was enough to run a cement mixer or heavy-duty power saw. "It was in any event an unorthodox method to try to get rid of moles."

    Sure is unorthodox. Most people just have them frozen off, or minor plastic surgery at the most.
