Babianiha (B/A), Feb 27, GNA - A middle-aged housewife, Abenaa Abi, is assisting family members in investigations into why she almost severed the male organ of her husband, Mr. Kwaku Mensah, with a bite at Babianiha in Jaman South District.

The incident was reported to have happened on the night of February 21 and Mr Mensah is receiving treatment at the hospital. The case has not been reported to the police.

Briefing newsmen on the incident Mr Kwasi Ankamah, an eyewitness and a neighbour of the couple, said they heard continuous shouts for help from the direction of the couple's residence. When he and others got there they saw the couple struggling in the courtyard with the teeth of Abenaa, who was naked, deeply sunk in the husband's male organ.

They intervened and released the organ from the woman's mouth and took him to the clinic.

Mr Mensah told newsmen that the wife had of late taken to drinking so he informed her parents at Senase, near Berekum, to advise to stop. Abenaa's brother came in the evening and advised her against the habit but she did not take kindly to it and attacked the husband in the night.

At a family meeting on the incident the following day Abenaa defended her action, saying it was the husband who first bit her vulva.
