‘Philanderer’ loses penis
Published on July 28, 2005
The 53-year-old wife of a 35-year-old man chopped his penis off early yesterday morning after he allegedly asked her to make love to him for the last time before he left her for another woman.
Surgeons at Khon Kaen University’s Srinakharin Hospital reattached Udom Phorit’s penis, but said there was only a 50-50 chance it would function properly.
After chopping off Udom’s penis at around 3am, Saithong Wantha asked neighbours to take him to hospital, while she turned herself in to Kosum Pisai police.
The neighbours called Udom’s sister, Boonsong Ansanghan, 39, who drove him to the district hospital, but not before a lengthy search for the severed organ. They had to call Saithong on her mobile phone and she told them she had tossed it behind the fence in the front yard.
Nearly two hours went by before surgeons could operate.
Saithong told police she cut off Udom’s penis in a fit of rage because he was leaving her. She hoped he would stop philandering and stay with her if he could no longer function sexually. “I love him and I don’t want him to leave,” Saithong said.
