Man jailed for fatal leg amputation apologises | 7NEWS
John Yalu, a North Queensland banana picker, has been sentenced to nine years jail for manslaughter after fatally amputating 66-year-old Kalman Tal’s leg with a circular saw in February 2022. Tal, who suffered chronic leg pain, had paid Yalu $5,000 to perform the procedure after spending years asking people to help him. Yalu apologised to the victim’s family, stating he was only trying to help, and will be eligible for parole in August after time already served.
