The Hsinchu City Police Department yesterday launched an investigation into a 58-year-old woman surnamed Li (黎) who allegedly castrated her recently divorced husband, surnamed Chen (陳), and attempted suicide after the act.
Li on Wednesday allegedly castrated Chen with a pair of scissors hidden under the mattress after seducing him and then flushed the castrated penis and testes down the toilet, police said.
Li allegedly then threatened to douse Chen with hydrochloric acid when he blockaded himself inside the bathroom and called for help, police said.
Chen and Li have known each other for many years before they were married and they divorced on Monday, a source said. [FULL STORY]
