Bangladesh woman takes 'attacker's' penis to police

DHAKA, May 30, 2011 (AFP) -A 40-year-old Bangladeshi woman cut off a man's penis during an alleged attempted rape and took it to a police station as evidence, police in a remote part of Bangladesh said Monday.

The woman, a married mother of three, was attacked while she was sleeping in her shanty in Jhalakathi district, some 200 kilometres (120 miles) south of Dhaka, on Saturday night, officers said.

"As he tried to rape her, the lady cut his penis off with a knife. She then wrapped up the penis in a piece of polythene and brought it to the Jhalakathi police station as evidence of the crime," police chief Abul Khaer told AFP.

The woman has filed a case accusing the man -- who is also 40 and a married father of five -- of attempted rape, saying that he had been harassing her for six months.

1. Shades of Lorena Bobbit

But if I remember correctly, Lorena had the penis in her hand and was driving off, and she tossed it out of the window.

4. And then they re-attached it.

Ouch...

5. Yes, I've never quite forgiven her for not dropping it into the garbage disposal

on her way out the door, but I guess after marital rape and retribution she probably wasn't thinking that clearly.

Unfortunately, the Bengali woman will likely be charged and the attempted rapist go free. That's how these things work.

2. If her story is true, yes. If his is true, no.

I read that headline online earlier, and my initial reaction was the same as yours. But then I read the story.

The man claims he and the woman were having an affair. She wanted him to leave his wife and kids for her, and he refused. She retaliated by cutting off his penis.

I have no idea which one is telling the truth. None of us does.

Good on her, but - ow!
