ALMOST LOST HIS HEAD OVER THE LOVE OF HIS WIFE

EVERETT, Washington – A Washington state woman accused of trying to decapitate her sleeping husband with an electric saw was convicted of attempted murder. Jurors needed only about three hours to reach a verdict in the trial of Renee Bishop-McKean of Everett. They also convicted the 44-year-old woman of first-degree assault for hitting the man in the head with a hatchet and mallet.
The jury was told the noise of the saw woke the victim and he fought his wife off. He was treated for cuts and scrapes. Bishop-McKean told police an attacker must have entered the home through an open window, found the saw and attacked her husband.
