Bangkok - A migrant worker from Myanmar cut off his own penis on Friday after drinking himself into a rage when his wife refused to have sex with him, Thai police said.
Po Dong, 29, a dock worker at the Thai port of Samut Prakan, initially attempted intercourse with his wife, Kate, on Thursday night.
When she refused he stayed up all night drinking whiskey and made another attempt on Friday, Samut Prakan Police Major Narong Simsawat quoted witnesses as saying.
When this attempt at intimacy also was rebuffed, Po Dong flew into a rage and severed his penis with a pair of scissors. He then cut the severed member into several pieces and stabbed himself in the stomach while screaming abuse at his wife.
He then collapsed and was carried to Samut Prakan Hospital where he was reported in serious but stable condition on Friday afternoon.
"His penis can't be reconnected because it's in small pieces," Narong said. "We questioned the wife and she was very sorry. She said he shouldn't have made such a big issue out of it." - Sapa-dpa
