TAIPEI: A Taiwan woman has been sentenced to 20 months in jail for severing her unfaithful husband’s penis and flushing it down the toilet, a newspaper said yesterday. The July attack occurred in Nantou County, central Taiwan. The Nantou District Court announced the sentencing on Wednesday, according to the Liberty Times. On July 29, the wife put four sleeping pills into a cup of grape juice that she served to her husband, a police officer said.
After he fell asleep, she tied his limbs to the four legs of their bed with nylon robe and sealed his mouth with tape to muffle his shouts.
Using a banana knife, the wife cut off her husband’s penis and flushed it down the toilet. She applied Chinese medicine to his wound to stop the bleeding before calling police to turn herself in, the daily said.
The court could have given the wife a minimum five-year sentence but showed leniency with a sentence of 20 months, citing the husband’s extramarital affair as the cause of the castration.
