Wife is jailed for castration

A WIFE in central China's Hunan Province was jailed for 11 years on Wednesday for castrating her husband while he slept.

The woman pled guilty to intentional injury at a court in Zhuzhou City in the province, reported Xiaoxiang Morning Herald yesterday.

She suspected her husband was having affairs as he didn't want to have sex with her.

The court said it had shown leniency at the request of the woman's husband and daughter.

When on May 23 her husband turned down an offer of sex, the woman said she suspected he was cheating on her and decided to "deprive him of his sexual functioning."

After giving her husband sleeping pills and seeing he was asleep, she tied him to the bed and began cutting off his testicles.

During this, her husband awoke and begged her to stop, promising never to stray again.

But his wife finished the job, and then proceeded to call her brother-in-law, telling him to "stitch the wound."

The next day she turned herself in.
