Woman Chops Off Husband's Penis, Then Kills Herself

A woman in northern Thailand chopped off her unfaithful husband's penis and then drank pesticide to her death, local police said.

Kawinnart Saezong, 33, was declared dead on yesterday at a hospital in Phayao province, said Narin Cherdyoo, Phayao police officer.

Kawinnart's suicide happened soon after she chopped off her 38-year-old husband's penis while he was asleep early Saturday, after she learned of his multiple infidelities, Narin said.

Her husband, Niran Saewang, survived the attack, Narin said. He was transferred from Phayao to Lampang hospital, which is a three-hour drive, and had his penis reattached, a hospital staff confirmed.

Hospital staff in Phayao managed to retrieve Niran's penis and froze it with ice during the hospital transfer, according to Lampang hospital.

This is not the first time Lampang hospital has had to deal with such a case, the hospital said, adding that all of the penis reattachment surgeries there had been successful.

Niran is recuperating at the hospital following Monday's successful surgery, the hospital said. Doctors said he could urinate but will no longer be able to perform sexually again.
