GARDEN GROVE, Calif. — A Southern California woman drugged her estranged husband, tied him to a bed, cut off his penis with a knife and threw it down a garbage disposal, police say.
Catherine Kieu Becker, 48, was booked at the Orange County Jail for investigation of aggravated mayhem, false imprisonment, assault with a deadly weapon, administering a drug with intent to commit a felony, poisoning and spousal abuse, Garden Grove police Lt. Jeff Nightengale told City News Service.
The name of the 51-year-old victim in Monday night’s incident was not released, but Nightengale says he is in serious condition after surgery at a hospital.
The woman told responding officers the victim “deserved it,” Nightengale says.
The woman is due in court Wednesday. A telephone listing for her residence could not be located.
