A woman has been arrested on charges of cutting off her husband’s penis while he was sleeping, police said Monday.
According to Yeosu Police Station, the incident happened at an apartment in Yeosu, South Jeolla Province, at 11:58 p.m. on Saturday.
The woman, 54, whose is unidentified, allegedly cut off the tip of the penis with a kitchen knife and flushed the flesh down the toilet.
A neighbour found the husband, left in pain, and took him to a nearby hospital, where he is in stable condition.
A police investigation revealed that the couple were on unhealthy terms.
Not only had the husband been violent to the woman, she had harboured a grudge because he gave her no money, but spent lavishly on his own enjoyment, such as like playing golf.
Police suspected the husband may have been attacked for cheating on his spouse, but they have no evidence of this.
Police are still investigating.
