A man accused of decapitating his 100-year-old grandmother with an axe as she cowered in her wheelchair has gone on trial in Hamburg.

Retired farm worker Amalie G was found dead in her apartment in the German city after the attack by her 37-year-old grandson Artur B in March, investigators say.

Following his arrest, Artur, who had been treated and prescribed medication for psychological problems according to German outlet Bild, consulted a psychiatrist and claimed he was struggling to cope with the care of his wheelchair-bound grandmother who suffered from dementia.

But a relative told Bild that Artur, a former soldier, was considered 'the black sheep of the family' and that Amalie had routinely complained he was stealing from her.

'Most of the time he was unemployed and he constantly lacked the money. Family members kept their distance from him,' the relative added.

Artur was arrested after he called police to notify them of his crime.

Coroners determined Amalie was hit 16 times with the weapon as she tried in vain to defend herself with a cordless vacuum cleaner, and that she died when one strike severed her spinal cord.

'According to the preliminary autopsy result, it can be assumed that a cervical cord severing caused by sharp and blunt force was the cause of death. The suspected crime is an axe found at the crime scene,' chief public prosecutor Liddy Oechtering said following the murder.

Artur will testify before the court in Hamburg on Monday.

Okay, if this psycho was "the black sheep of the family" and perpetually unemployed, then why the hell did they live him in charge of caring for her? Where the hell was the rest of the family? She complained to them that he constantly stole from her. Why the fuck didn't they do anything? Could they not be bothered?
