I know, I’m an extremely bad man, but I really couldn’t help giggling here:

A Monk was killed when he was run over by his own sit-on lawnmower as he trimmed the grass at a convent, an inquest heard.

Moments before, the 50-year-old was seen running after the driverless machine as it set off in the 12-acre grounds of a peace temple.

No, that’s not what caused the giggle, although someone running after a lawnmower is funny, getting run over by it isn’t. But this:

The Milton Keynes coroner heard that 10 years earlier, Rev Seiji Handa had lost three fingers in another lawnmower accident.
