Court date today for wife charged with severing husband's penis
By Douglas Stanglin, USA TODAY
Court records show that the woman accused of severing her husband's penis and putting it into a garbage disposal had been married only since December and that the couple were planning a divorce, NBC Los Angeles reports.
Catherine Kieu Becker, 48, of Garden Grove, Calif., was scheduled to make a court appearance today on a range of charges, including aggravated mayhem, assault with a deadly weapon and spousal abuse. Bail was set at $1 million.
He told police that Becker apparently put drugs into his food, causing him to fall asleep. When he awoke, the victim told police, Becker produced a 10-inch knife and cut off his penis.
She then put it into a garbage disposal and turned it on, according to police, NBC reports.
An officer, summoned by her 911 call, says she told police that her husband "deserved it."
A neighbor says is shocked by the incident, adding, "She doesn't look like the type of person who would do something like that."
