Peru: Woman cuts off penis of sleeping partner after argument. What followed is described as a “traumatic amputation” below the belt.

However, the 39-year-old was not arrested. The crime is reminiscent of the infamous 1993 case of John Wayne Bobbitt, then 26, whose wife Lorena cut off his penis while he was sleeping. She had explained: "The act was like rape; he abused me." The case had sparked a debate in the USA at the time about sexual violence in marriage and relationships.
