A woman is starting a three-year prison sentence this week after attempting to hack her husband’s penis off while he was asleep.
The court heard how Jimmy Ngulube, from Kapiri Mposhi in Zambia, woke up at midnight on August 4 with a sharp pain in his groin.
He saw his wife Given Chilufya standing over him with a bloody knife and threatening to kill him.
The couple had gone to bed after a row in which Chilufya, 37, had accused her husband of cheating on her. She had then woken up in the night and decided to take her revenge.
Jimmy, 43, called his brother who took him to hospital where the worst of the damage was repaired.
Local police were also notified and Chilufya was taken into custody.
Yesterday (August 26) in court, Kapiri Mposhi Resident Magistrate Arnold Kasongamulilo sentenced Chilufya to three years behind bars for unlawfully wounding her husband.
