Original Note:
The incident in Edinburgh has been confirmed by police to be the result of an accident. Great Britain has a long history, including the use of decapitation as a method of execution which was not finally abolished until 1973, although not in use since 1747. https://www.edinburghlive.co.uk/news/edinburgh-news/edinburgh-officers-confirm-person-hit-30286473 https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1973/39/pdfs/ukpga_19730039_en.pdf
