GARDEN GROVE, Calif. (AP) — A Southern California woman remained jailed Wednesday after authorities said she drugged her estranged husband, tied him to a bed, cut off his penis and put it through a garbage disposal.
Suspect Catherine Kieu Becker spiked a meal and served it to the victim shortly before the attack Monday night, Garden Grove police Lt. Jeff Nightengale said.
The 60-year-old man felt sick, went to lie down and lost consciousness.
Becker, 48, then tied his arms and legs to the bed with rope, removed his clothes and attacked him with a 10-inch kitchen knife as he awoke, police said.
"He was conscious when his penis was removed," Nightengale said, alleging Becker then put it in the garbage disposal and turned it on.
The victim's name was not released by police.
The lieutenant said Becker called police to report a medical emergency and told arriving officers "he deserved it" before pointing to the room where the victim was found bleeding profusely................
