A husband has chopped off the penis of his wife’s rapist after seeing her being attacked yards from their home in Ukraine.<\/p>\n
The 27-year-old husband was on his way home when he saw the horrific episode in Shevchenkovo, a village in the eastern Kharkiv region.<\/p>\n
His wife had left friends at a restaurant at around 1am\u00a0and was heading to her home just 1,000ft away.<\/p>\n
She was walking near her apartment block when a 25-year-old rapist, Dmitry Ivchenko, attacked her from behind.<\/p>\n
The victim’s husband left the party ten minutes later. When he reached their apartment block, he heard noise coming from the bushes.<\/p>\n
He came closer to find out what was going on and saw Ivchenko squeezing his wife’s throat while raping her.<\/p>\n
The furious husband then allegedly attacked the rapist and hit him on the head with a fist, before\u00a0grabbing his Swiss army knife and chopping his penis off, local media report.<\/p>\n
The rapist’s screams and the victim’s sobbing woke up all the residents in the area who rushed to the scene.<\/p>\n
Her mother immediately reported Ivchenko to the police while others called an ambulance for him.<\/p>\n
Mr Spaskin said: ‘After the incident, [the husband] was in a state of shock and just walked away.<\/p>\n
‘He walked about 13 kilometres and reached a neighbouring village. There he met an acquaintance and asked to drive him to a police station where \u00a0he handed himself into police and confessed in full.<\/p>\n
The husband was charged with causing grievous bodily harm and put under house arrest.<\/p>\n
Attorney Dmitry Spaskin said: “The husband lost the ability to control his actions. He did not understand what he was doing.”<\/p>\n
While,\u00a0 police have launched a criminal case for rape against the rapist and he remains in hospital under police surveillance.<\/p>\n
Doctors have not speculated on the chances to reattach the penis and if the rapist will regain full functionality of the organ.<\/p>\n
The female residents of the village have voiced their support for the husband.<\/p>\n
