Wife ‘Ripped Off Husband’s Testicles After He Refused To Do Housework’

#1

Ionel Popa, 39, from the village of Dragomiresti in Romania's north-eastern Vaslui County was rushed to the emergency room with his scrotum torn open after his wife had grabbed his testicles and yanked hard to punish him.

Afterwards she remained unrepentant, saying that she obviously did not know her own strength and that he deserved what had happened to him.

Paramedic Aurora Popa said: ‘The man had a severe open wound on his scrotum. He told us his wife had attacked him because he did not give her flowers for International Woman's Day.'

The mayor of DragomireÅŸti, Aurel Turcu, echoed Popa's account, saying: "From what I understand, the woman got angry with him that he did not take the flowers and then cut him with a knife in the genitals."

The man's left testicle was hanging out of his scrotum after the skin was ripped apart and after being transported to hospital he had to undergo emergency surgery to repair the damage.

However, local news site Vremeanoua reports that the wife, 40-year-old Marinela Benea, gave a different account. She claims the "flowers" story was made up, and that they had in fact been arguing about his failure to do household chores.

Benea said she was fed-up with being ignored by her husband. She said: ‘Ionel had been given a bottle of wine for a day's work instead of getting paid, and had arrived home drunk. When he gets drunk, he changes. All night he made me keep the fire on because he was cold and I did it to avoid having an argument.

‘In the morning I opened the curtains and told him to go out and do some work, or at least to help with the household chores but he shouted that I'm not entitled to give him orders.

#7

‘I told him he was not any kind of man and I grabbed his balls. It was not my fault that he pulled away, and that's when it happened. I thought maybe that some ice would solve the problem, but he insisted on calling an ambulance. He was pretty annoyed.'

The couple has been together for 15 years and have a 15-year-old son.

Ionel remains in the hospital recovering from his wounds in a stable condition whilst police investigate the attack.

Whether it was over flowers or being lazy I bet her husband will think twice before crossing his wife again.
