A Ugandan woman has been accused of biting off her husband's penis and testicles during a row.

Her husband is recovering at home after doctors managed to sew them back on.

Police in Nakawa say the 30-year-old woman faces assault charges.

She is alleged to have overpowered her 45-year-old husband during a two-hour argument, The Monitor reports.

The husband told the newspaper: "By the time my neighbour came to my rescue, she had bitten off both my testicles and the penis. I doubt whether I will regain my manhood."

He claims she attacked him after he caught her trying to assault their stepdaughter and slapped her.
