Man in hospital after severing own penis

ALOR STAR: A 26-year-old man, who is believed to have severed his own penis, is recuperating at the Alor Star Hospital.

It appears that he would have to live without his sexual organ for the rest of his life.

The man from Pendang, who is believed to be insane, was reported to be in stable condition. He was admitted yesterday.

Health authorities have failed to recover the organ that was believed to have been severed three days ago.

Hospital sources said it would be difficult to reattach the organ because it would have decomposed by now.

In Kuching, a man ran amok, killing his elderly father and injuring two family members at their home in Jalan Semaba off Jalan Penrissen here.

His father was rushed to the Sarawak General Hospital but was pronounced dead on arrival about 8pm on Saturday.

The 75-year-old father of nine, received stab wounds on his head and body after he was attacked by his son, an unmarried labourer, outside their house.

The 46-year-old man, who was armed with two knives, also injured his brother, 37, and sister-in-law, 28, before running off.

A relative later persuaded him to surrender to the police.
