A man has been charged with murder after allegedly sawing another man’s leg off in north-eastern Australia.<\/b><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

A man, 66, died in a park in Innisfail, Far North Queensland, early on Saturday after being found by passers-by, said police.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Police believe the man and the suspect, 36, had some sort of arrangement in which the younger man would amputate the older man’s leg.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

The two men were known to each other, police said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Police said the men drove to the park together then 20 minutes later, the 36-year-old man allegedly cut the other’s leg off under the knee with a circular saw.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

The suspect then assisted the injured man back to the car before leaving the area on foot.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

A passer-by found the injured man and called the emergency services, but the 66-year-old died shortly afterwards.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

“During my 34 years as a police officer, I’ve never experienced a situation as we are presented with here today,” Detective Inspector Gary Hunter told Australian media.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

He called the incident “tragic” and said it was unclear why the man’s leg had been removed.<\/p>\n
