Hanoi - Police in southern Vietnam are investigating a case where a man had his penis chopped in half by his wife when he was sleeping, officials said Wednesday.

The man, identified as BT Hai, 44, was admitted to hospital early on Sunday with half of his penis cut off, according to Pham Quoc Viet, a local policeman.

Police said Hai's wife was angry, suspecting that he had a mistress, and cut off his member with a 20-centimetre knife, throwing the severed piece into a drainage ditch near their house in Ca Mau, a Mekong Delta province 350 kilometers south-west of Ho Chi Minh City.




"He was bleeding badly when admitted to the hospital, but he is in stable condition now," said Dr Huynh Truong Son of Ca Mau General Hosptial

"His friends found the piece and brought it to the hospital four hours later, but we decided not to conduct an operation to rejoin it because the piece was dirty with mud and had not been properly preserved," Son said.

Son said Hai will be discharged from the hospital in a few days and that the remaining part of his penis will still function.

Hai's wife has not been arrested, but she may face charges of deliberately injuring other people, which carries a prison sentence of three years, the policeman said. - Sapa-dpa
