Resident peeping through the man's house as he severed his manhood
A man left the residents of a Kenya community in total shock on Thursday when he chopped off his private part and threw it to a dog saying it was of no value to him.
The man from Karai area of Kenya, reportedly started with a razor blade but finished cutting off his manhood with a knife, as his screams from his one-room house, attracted members of the public who called police for help.
It was gathered that after about 30 minutes of writhing in pain and heavy bleeding, the man was taken to Naivasha subcounty hospital.
While speaking with journalists, a resident identified as Joseph Chege, disclosed that they found the man half n*ked and bleeding heavily.
"The man claimed the Bible ordered him to discard any body part that would deter him from entering heaven," Chege said.
He said despite the incident, the man was able to eat some bread with soda before police came to his rescue, adding that the man worked in one of the quarries and never interacted with residents.
Another resident identified as James Kabono, described the incident as shocking, adding that they were trying to understand why the man harmed himself. "He decided to cut off the most important part of the body," Kabono said.
A woman at the scene claimed the man was impotent and decided to sever the body part "as it was not of any service to him".
Joseph Mburu, the superintendent in charge of the hospital, said the man was in critical condition. "He has been taken to the theatre...we hope he shall recover," he said.
