HARRISBURG, Pa. (Reuters) - A suburban Philadelphia man killed his wife with a chain saw and then turned the machine on himself in a grisly murder-suicide, prosecutors said on Wednesday.

Police were called to a home in affluent Lower Moreland Township, Pennsylvania, on Tuesday afternoon after the couple’s 14-year-old son, who had been outside playing basketball, came home and found the bloody bodies.

“A chain saw was recovered at the scene,” said Kevin Steele, first assistant district attorney for Montgomery County. “It’s clear that it was used at least in part.”

Dr. Walter Hofman, the Montgomery County coroner, said autopsies showed that Nicole Peppelman, 43, died at the hands of her husband, Christopher Peppelman, 48, of a “sharp force injury of the abdomen” aggravated by stab wounds and “throttling of the neck.”

The husband then committed suicide, Hofman said, dying of “gaping, sharp force injuries of the abdomen and right thigh.”

In both deaths, Steele said, the chain saw did the main damage.

When the son called 911, he reported that his parents appeared to be dead from chain saw cuts. The couple had three children, none of whom were home when the crime occurred.

Neighbors told local media that the couple had been married for 20 years but had been having marital difficulties recently.

Christopher Peppelman was a building contractor whose office was in his home in Huntingdon Valley.

We had a call at work where a guy went out to the garage and laid his head down on a radial arm saw. Pulled the handle forward. Divorce is a horrible thing to some people.

When a mate of mine wants to borrow my Stihl he asks if can use the Andy Kingston.

If I wanted to end it all, and had a chainsaw, I'd just start it in a small closed room.

That's terrible, but I am still laughing at that comment 5 minutes later.

It'd be bad enough to do it to someone else that hadn't REALLY pissed you off. Honestly, short of catching someone doing something bad to a wife, child, etc... or maybe getting ahold of one of the ISIS nutters, it would take a nut to do this to someone. But then to do it to yourself? Seriously? Wow.

Fk doing yourself in by taking a chainsaw to your gut. What kind of selfish a-hole does that to his wife (no matter the spur-of-the-moment anger of an argument) and leaves the mess for his kid(s) to find?

[Gogar]

He must have really had an axe to grind.

[Charles Freeborn]

Wow. That's love. Or dedication. Or both. Or drugs. Or booze. But really messed up, any way you look at it.

BTW, someone needs to get on to banning chainsaws. Or at least requiring licensing or sales waiting periods.

I don't suppose KACHI will do a Thread that proclaims that Blue Staters are more likely to off themselves than Red Staters...

Obviously he was using an assault chainsaw.
