It's the kind of dark scenario you'd likely see play out
in a Quentin Tarantino movie – except that it happened in
real life.
A Slovenian woman deliberately sawed off her own hand with the
help of a circular saw, all for the sake of being able to
fraudulently claim on insurance payouts.
The only problem was, her gruesome attempt at the insurance scam
didn't quite go to plan, and now the woman is serving a jail
sentence after being caught for the offence.
Let's unpack this...
Back in 2019, 22-year-old Julija Adlesic from Ljubljana,
Slovenia, was hoping to
rake in a whopping sum of around $1.18million in insurance
payouts after her and her boyfriend staged a plan which saw Ms
Adlesic sever her hand and leave it at home while her partner's
father drove them to the local hospital.
