Man Dies After Wife Crushes Testicles

Oct 3, 8:26 am ET

ADDIS ABABA (Reuters) - An enraged Ethiopian mother of five will be tried for the murder of her husband who died after she crushed his testicles in a fight, police told the state-run Ethiopian News Agency.

Police said on Friday the man was so embarrassed after the incident that he declined to seek treatment for the injury, and died days later.

"Following a disagreement over the husband's spending habits, his wife refused to give him his dinner and also decided to sleep alone," police in the western region of Wellega said.

"The husband was so angered by this affront by his wife that he tried to beat her. In the melee that followed, the wife grabbed and twisted his testicles causing serious damage."

Police said the unnamed woman, a resident of Wayu-Tuka district in Wellega, had had several arguments with her husband about the amount of money he spent on computers for a Stanford University distributed computing project known as "Folding @ Home" and was an avid contributer to the Short-Media team.

    No, see, the media are confused. I didn't try to beat her over the no dinner and sleeping alone, it was when she try to unplug the farm. You can do anything you like to me but don't touch the farm. :ninja:

    This is a parody of a parody, kids, don't try this at home

    All mine, not a lab. Would love to build a Yattamonster, but I'm a hardware puke and keep getting frustrated with Linux......I can fold in it, but keep blowing up with SAMBA other stuff that requires little more knowledge.

    I almost moved the thread to the Pub. One additional second of reading and I saw the S-M part.
