The hand was retrieved and sowed back on the 21-year old from Ljubljana, Slovenia.
A 21-year-old woman in Slovenia has been accused of using a circular saw to cut off her hand so she could get hundreds of thousands of euros in insurance payouts.
The incident happened shortly after the family had taken out life and injury insurance contracts with five insurance companies, Agence France Presse reported. Police spokesman Valter Zrinski told a news conference: “With one of her accomplices, she intentionally amputated her hand at the wrist with a circular saw, hoping to stage it as an accident."
Last October, a Chinese woman killed herself and her two children after her husband faked his own death to pay off loans with money from his life insurance policy.
