A 39-year-old woman is under investigation for allegedly mutilating her partner’s penis with a kitchen knife while he slept in a small town in Peru.
The shocking incident unfolded following an argument over suspected infidelity in their marital home in the Cajamarca region.
The victim, whose identity remains undisclosed, was swiftly transported to the regional hospital of Chiclayo for urgent medical attention. He has undergone surgery for the traumatic amputation and is now receiving psychiatric support to navigate the emotional and physical aftermath of the ordeal.
Despite the severity of the situation, the woman, who is responsible for their three-month-old baby, is currently not in custody.
This incident draws parallels to the infamous case of Lorena Bobbitt in the United States, igniting conversations about gender-based violence and the complexities surrounding issues of infidelity and justice.
