woman accused of cutting of husband's penis

Oh, gross. Gross. In Orange County, a woman is accused of drugging her husband, cutting off his penis and throwing it into the garbage disposal. She was arrested last night after authorities responded to a 911 call: Woman cut off husband's penis, put it in disposal, police say.

48-year-old Catherine Kieu Becker of Garden Grove told police she put some kind of poison in her husband's dinner to make him sleepy, then tied him up. When he woke up, she cut off his penis with a knife. Police reportedly arrived at the house to find a man tied to the bed and bleeding from his crotch:
Catherine Kieu Becker, 48, who identified herself as the victim’s wife, told police she had drugged her husband’s dinner to make him sleepy, then tied him to a bed.

As he awoke, she cut off his penis with a knife, tossed it in the garbage disposal and turned the disposal on.

Police untied the victim, a 51-year-old man, who was taken UCI Medical Center, where he underwent emergency surgery.

Becker was arrested on charges of aggravated mayhem, false imprisonment, assault with a deadly weapon, administering a drug with intent to commit a felony, poisoning and spousal abuse.

Police said Becker and her husband were going through a divorce and that she told officers he "deserved it."
The victim underwent emergency surgery and is listed in serious condition. Becker is under arrest, charged with aggravated mayhem, false imprisonment, assault with a deadly weapon, administering a drug with intent to commit a felony, poisoning and spousal abuse. The "aggravated mayhem" is tacked on for the sheer heinousness of the crime.

Damn. I don't know what drives someone to cut off a man's junk, but that is just plain nasty. Excuse me now as a curl into a ball in the corner, thoroughly grossed out. More here: Catherine Kieu Becker Accused Of Cutting Off Her Estranged Husband's Penis.
