A 36-year-old man reportedly had his penis and scrotum cut off by his niece’s boyfriend after he allegedly tried to rape her in Olhos D’Agua in Brazil.

According to report, the man was drunk when he allegedly attempted to s*xually assault his 20-year-old niece who managed to fight him off and fled before he  staggered home and went to bed.

On hearing the news, the niece’s boyfriend and his cousin  asked the man to join them in a nearby sugarcane field where they planned to castrate some pigs but the duo attacked the man instead.

After beating him unconscious, they removed his trousers and cut off his penis and testicles.

When the man regained consciousness, he called an ambulance and was taken to Doutor Gil Alves Municipal Hospital in Bocaiuva, where medics managed to stop the bleeding.

Surgeons then struggled to reconstruct his urinary tract, so that the man could relieve himself. The medics said there is no hope of replacing anything that he lost after it was apparently thrown to the pigs and eaten.

According to police officer Michael Stephan da Silva, they searched for the missing penis but did not find it and believed it had indeed been eaten by the animals.

Surgeon Felipe Lobo said: “It was like something out of a scene from a Dante novel.

“His penis and scrotum had been severed and his external genitalia was completely missing.

“All we could do was stem the bleeding, give him a blood transfusion and clean the wound.”

The man is now on antibiotics and will be able to leave the hospital in two to four days.

The two suspects have been arrested. However, It is unclear if the man whose genitals were removed is to be charged with attempted rape.
