Man's penis cut off, put in garbage disposal


AP) GARDEN GROVE, Calif. - Authorities said Tuesday that a woman is in custody after she drugged her estranged husband, tied him to a bed, cut off his penis with a large knife and threw it down a garbage disposal.

Police Lt. Jeff Nightengale said 48-year-old Catherine Kieu Becker drugged a meal and fed it to the 51-year-old victim, whose name was not released, shortly before the attack Monday night.

Nightengale said the man felt sick, went to lie down and lost consciousness. He said Becker then tied the victim's arms and legs to the bed with rope and attacked him with the 10-inch knife as he awoke.

"He was conscious when his penis was removed," Nightengale said.

He said Becker then put the penis in the garbage disposal and turned it on.

Nightengale said Becker called 911 to report a medical emergency and acknowledged the crime to responding officers.

The victim was found tied to the bed, bleeding profusely.

Bail for Becker was set at $1 million after she was booked for investigation of aggravated mayhem, false imprisonment, assault with a deadly weapon, administering a drug with intent to commit a felony, poisoning and spousal abuse.

The victim underwent surgery and was in serious condition at the University of California at Irvine Medical Center in Orange.

Becker is due in court Wednesday. A telephone listing for her residence could not be located.

The couple was reportedly in the process of a divorce.

A call to the hospital was not immediately returned.

Looks like someone learned from Lorena Bobbit to do more than throw it out the car window.

Do you think they would take the garbage disposal in as evidence? Wow... Hope they don't let her work in the kitchen in prison with all those knives and all those male guards...

wow! what a pyscho poor guy no wonder he's divorcing her...not only did she steal his dignity but she kind messed up future relationships....

Yeah, but Lorena was found not guilty. This one is a little too scarily planned to get off (so to speak). "Throwing it out the window" makes me shudder but I don't think I can even comprehend "down the garbage disposal."

When I worked uniform, I had a call where a guy tried to commit suicide by cutting his own off. He was successful in getting it hacked off, but had serious regrets by the time I arrived. The surgeons at the med school said they were going to try to reattach it (this was before reattaching body parts was common). I dunno if they did or not, I just went on to the next call.

Dear God. He couldn't think of an easier way to kill himself? Did he WANT to suffer?

Re the article: That must have been one angry, twisted woman. Good luck to her finding a boyfriend after that one (though I guess in prison, she won't have to worry about that).

She's the kind that they give scissors to and allowed to cut officers hair in prison! :yesnod:

As a prior parole officer, I had my hair cut at the prison by female inmates. All of which were serving time for murdering their husbands.:coolgleamA:



Be Safe.

I think he was dealing with issues of being gay. That was before being gay was so mainstream around here.

I tell the ladies that's what happened to me, which explains why it's so little.

that makes sense then I was also wondering the same thing..we've had a few pts that have had to have their stuff surgically removed due to infections ( staph gone crazy and the wounds won't heal) makes me hurt just thinking about it... might be wise to invent a way to clone that part for later use...with these crazy woman I could see it easily becoming a new plastic surgery....you grow it we will sew it... sorry twisted humor...:biggrinjester:

What ladies?

Whole new meaning to "stem cell".

Hmm...

I guess you could say his efforts to make some amends with his estranged spouse were....

/puts on sunglasses

.....cut short.

There are other people that will cut your hair. I think I would go the do-it-yourself route with "0 all the way around" before doing that.

Gotta ask: Did you ask for the "Brazillian" cut?

What ladies?

Actually he meant 'lady' and you have some 'splaining to do.

What ladies?

This was prior to you. You gotta shop around before you find the right one.

I'm suprised, other than Kimble's rep the other day I haven't been repped in like a year.

I repped ya.. .I hate it when a man has to go without.

I appreciate it, but sometimes pity green is worse than red :D

Maybe I'm just spoiled too. I used to get repped once a week at least, now I often go over a month. I'm losing my touch.

Lol, no I didn't. I just sat there with my eyes closed hoping they would not have flashbacks and think I was their husband! :nonod:


I do use the "0" on the clippers and do it myself. I refuse to pay $15 for a clipper hair cut!




Be Safe.

Probably true, every time I get a little edgy she comes out of the darkness and puts me in my place.

You've got me all wrong...I'm just expressing my surprise that there were ever other interested ladies in the picture.








Kidding Greg!!
