Anchorage, Alaska - A lover's quarrel took a bizarre twist last night. The Anchorage Police Department said late last night, after a fight over a pending breakup, a woman severed her 44-year-old boyfriend's penis.
Kim Tran, 35, was arraigned today on charges of domestic violence, assault and tampering with evidence.
Police said after the fight, the couple decided to have sexual relations and he agreed to let Tran tie his arms to the window handle above their bed. That’s when they say Tran pulled out a kitchen knife and severed her boyfriend's genitals.
Police say Tran flushed the penis down the toilet and then drove the man to Providence Alaska Medical Center shortly after midnight. Hospital staff called the Anchorage Police Department and police called officials with Anchorage Water and Wastewater Utility to recover the penis.
“Officials from the Anchorage Water and Wastewater Utility were able to come out to the home, they pulled the toilet from its base and tipped it over into the bathtub and were able to recover the man's body part, and police officers then brought it into the hospital for reattachment,” said Anita Shell of the Anchorage Police Department (right).
Police say surgery to reattach the man's penis was successful.
The arraignment has been continued until a Vietnamese translator is found to translate for Tran. No bail has been set.
