A 36-year-old man has lost his penis and testicles after they were chopped off and fed to pigs over his alleged attempt to rape his 20-year-old niece in Brazil.
According to TheSun, the unnamed man allegedly got drunk in his home town of Olhos D’Agua and attempted to have sex with his niece.
She reportedly managed to fight off his advances and fled the scene before the accused then staggered home and went to sleep.
Instead of alerting the Police, the 20-year-old niece told her boyfriend and his cousin who were enraged and vowed to get revenge.
The two men proceeded to asked the uncle if he could join them in a nearby sugarcane field where they planned to neuter some pigs.
When the man turned up, the two men attacked him and, after beating him unconscious, they removed his trousers and proceeded to cut off his penis and testicles.
When he regained consciousness, the man was horrified by what had happened and managed to struggle home where he raised the alarm while he was bleeding profusely.
He was taken by ambulance to a hospital 50 kilometres (31 miles) from Olhos D’Agua where shocked medics were able to stop the bleeding and save his life.
Surgeons then struggled to reconstruct his urinary tract and said that there was no hope of replacing anything that he lost.
According to a local police officer, the force searched for the missing organ but did not find it – believing it had indeed been eaten by the animals.
Surgeon Felipe Lobo, who treated the man, said: “It was like something out of a scene from a Dante novel.
“His penis and scrotum had been severed and his external genitalia were completely missing.
“All we could do was stem the bleeding, give him a blood transfusion and clean the wound.”
The poor man is reportedly on antibiotics now and will be able to leave the hospital in two to four days if his condition improves.
The two suspects have been arrested. It is unclear if the man whose genitals were removed is to be charged with attempted rape after the alleged crime was not reported to the police.
KanyiDaily had also reported how a mother was arrested for cutting off the penis of a man she suspected of raping and killing her 5-year-old daughter in South Africa.
