After a dispute about allegations of adultery, the jealous wife slices her sleeping husband's penis.

Three years in prison are the punishment for a lady who attempted to remove her husband's penis while he was sleeping earlier this month.

According to testimony given in court, Jimmy Ngulube of Kapiri Mposhi, Zambia, woke up at midnight on August 4 with a severe groyne discomfort.

Before going to bed, Chilufya, 37, accused her husband of infidelity, which sparked a heated argument. Then, when she awoke during the night, she made the decision to exact retribution.

Jimmy, 43, contacted his brother, who then drove him to the hospital, where the worst of the damage could be repaired.

Additionally, the neighbourhood police were informed, and Chilufya was arrested.

On August 26, Chilufya was given a three-year prison term for intentionally hurting her husband by Kapiri Mposhi Resident Magistrate Arnold Kasongamulilo.

Despite Chilufya's pleas for mercy, the magistrate insisted that she had attacked and injured her husband with the clear aim to murder him.
