A sexually-starved woman tried to slice off her husband’s private parts with a sharp okapi knife while he was fast asleep for allegedly refusing to engage in sexual inter-course, police have confirmed.
Police said the victim, a 22-year-old man from Gweru was now in Gweru Provincial Hospital’s intensive care unit battling for his life.
Confirming the incident that has left the local community stunned, Midlands Provincial Police spokesperson Inspector Patrick Chademana said the incident occurred on Friday.
“The incident occurred on Friday morning around 7.30 am when the husband, who had arrived from work two hours before, fell asleep despite the fact that the wife wanted to have sex.
When the husband fell asleep the wife tried to slice off his private parts with an okapi knife, and only awoke by pain from the cut,” he said.
“The man eventually got assistance when a fellow tenant at the house heard him screaming and came to investigate and rushed him to Mtapa Clinic where he was subsequently transferred to Gweru Provincial Hospital.
“It is said that the man had told the wife before that he no longer wanted to stay with her. A few hours after the incident the wife was picked by a passer-by lying near a farm in Montrose, just outside the city.
It is suspected that she had attempted committing suicide by drinking poison. She is also admitted at Gweru General Hospital. Investigations are still in progress,” said Insp. Chademana.
The police spokesperson said the husband was still in a critical condition as he was unconscious.
