Woman accused of slicing partner's penis off 'after years of domestic violence'

A woman has been questioned by police in Brazil after allegedly slicing off her partner’s penis during a row.

Detectives have yet to arrest her but are expected to take action after receiving more medical reports.

She has claimed she acted in self-defence after years of domestic violence.

Her 36-year-old partner has insisted she acted out of revenge after failing to accept his attempts to end their relationship.

The horror incident happened in the early hours of Saturday morning in Saquarema, a municipality in the state of Rio de Janeiro.
The amputation victim was rushed to a nearby hospital before being transferred to another identified as Nossa Senora de Nazareth Hospital for emergency surgery.

The op to reattach his severed organ proved unsuccessful but he is said to be stable.

Sources close to the ongoing inquiry told local media the unnamed woman had fled the scene but turned up at a police station yesterday with her lawyer and admitted to using a knife during a row.

She told cops she didn’t remember what she had done with the weapon and it has yet to be recovered.

The woman’s lawyer said after her police interview: “She appeared voluntarily at the police station where she answered all the questions she was asked and agreed to a physical examination. I am confident the truth will come out during the ongoing investigation.

“We will cooperate fully with the authorities, confident that justice will be done.”

In a separate incident, a Brazilian woman confessed to cutting off her husband’s penis during sex late last year and flushing it down the toilet after reportedly discovering he had an affair with her teenage niece.

Diane dos Santos, 34, told cops she acted out of revenge after tying her partner's hands together using a pair of underwear and slashing his manhood while it was erect with a knife.

She is said to have taken a photo of the dismembered organ before getting rid of it down the toilet.

She told officers when she handed herself in at a police station near the Brazilian city of Sao Paulo: “Good night, I’m here because I’ve just cut my husband’s penis off.”

An online fundraiser was later organised for Gilberto Nogueira de Oliveira for the prosthetic penis he wanted after Daiane flushed his penis down the toilet in a fit of jealous rage.

Astonishingly Gilberto confirmed in April he had forgiven his partner and wanted to marry her, around the same time Daiane blamed her horror act on sexual abuse she had suffered as a child and claimed: “If he wants a wedding I do too. I didn’t fall in love with Gilberto’s penis, I fell in love with the good person he is.”

The same month a woman was sentenced to seven years in prison by a court in Barcelona after admitting cutting off her lover’s penis by tricking him into thinking she was going to perform a sex act on him.

The 38-year-old, named only as Tanya, was handed her jail sentence after striking a last-minute deal with prosecutors.

She convinced her partner, also her boss at a bar in Sant Andreu de la Barca near Barcelona, to cover his eyes with a napkin after promising him to give him oral sex, claiming she didn’t want him to look because it made her feel embarrassed.

She then took out a knife she had hidden into her pocket and sliced off his penis. The penis slicing incident took place on May 31 2021.
