LIMA, Peru (AFP) — Peruvian authorities said Tuesday they were investigating a woman accused of cutting off her partner’s penis with a kitchen knife as he slept.
“We are awaiting the results of the investigation to determine the motive and circumstances of the events,” Darinka Lossio, a prosecutor with the city of Chota in northern Peru, told Agence France-Presse of the weekend attack.
Local media, citing police reports, said that the 39-year-old woman had argued with her partner after he returned home drunk, believing he had been unfaithful. The attack then allegedly took place after he fell asleep.
“He had a traumatic amputation, he has been given medical care and will receive psychiatric support,” a medical source told AFP.
The prosecutor said the woman remained free, as she was taking care of her three-month-old baby.
“We are outraged, we want justice. My nephew’s penis was cut off,” the man’s uncle told local media.
