You may be familiar with the name John Wayne Bobbit, the unfortunate man who had his penis cut off by his enraged wife.
Now a 66-year-old woman in the Eastern Cape has bitten off a piece of her alleged rapist’s tongue, the victim asleep in her Mnyameni house when she woke up to a noise at the door. TimesLive reports:
“The 24-year-old suspect went to the bed of the victim and kissed her. The brave 66-year-old woman fought back and in the process of the struggle she bit off the piece of the suspect’s tongue.
“The suspect eventually overpowered the victim and raped her although his piece of tongue had been bitten off. He later ran through the open door.
“The victim kept the piece of tongue and handed it over to Centane Police as exhibit. The suspect was traced and arrested on Saturday. Police also noticed that his tongue had been bitten‚” [Eastern Cape police spokesman Captain Jackson Manatha] said.
The suspect has been charged with rape and is due to appear in court today.
