A 46-year-old Ugandan man is fighting for his life after his drunk wife cut off his penis.
It is alleged the man refused to have sex with his wife because of her drinking.
Moses Okot, from Amun Village, said he had fallen asleep after returning home from hunting when a sudden pain woke him up.
He found his pants wet with blood and his penis cut off, the Daily Monitor reports.
The shocked man was first rushed to the police where he laid a charge against his spouse before being taken to hospital where he is currently receiving treatment.
Okot complained that his wife, Beatrice Acen, 35, was always returning home drunk and demanding sex.
He usually punishes her by giving her the cold shoulder, but it doesn’t always work, he said.
The couple has been married for 10 years and, according to Anthony Ogwal, a village chairman, they have long been involved in domestic fights after Acen complained about her hubby rejecting her in bed.
“It’s not the first time Acen has inflicted injuries on her husband. Last year, she broke this man’s collarbone during a domestic fight and then ran away. The case was settled in my office and they reunited,” said Ogwal.
Ogwal blames the rampant cases of domestic violence in his area on alcoholism, saying that women are abusing alcohol to the same degree as men.
Acen is currently on the run from cops, who are investigating a case of grievous bodily harm.
