A mentally unbalanced Buriram man chopped off two
fingers and nearly sliced off his penis in a pledge of devotion to this
girlfriend.
Anucha Somkhanae, 29, was hospitalized Oct. 10 after
paramedics responding to his Banglamung apartment found him covered in
blood and his right thumb and index finger on the floor. Medics wrapped
the two appendages in ice and secured his penis to prevent it from
completely detaching.
Apartment owner Pan Kaebaanpreaw said Anucha’s
girlfriend called her for help after returning from work to find her
unit’s doors locked. They called for help after finding the bloodied
boyfriend inside.
Anucha’s girlfriend said her lover had been working
in South Korea, but was sent home before the contract ended. Since his
return, he’d been acting strangely and was extremely possessive of her.
She believed his self mutilation was done as a sign of love or devotion.
