A 34-year-old woman has been grilled by the police on suspicion of ripping her lover's testicles out during a fit of rage.
The Sun reports that she apparently accused her 49-year-old boyfriend of cheating on her, before grabbing his crotch and assaulting him.
The tabloid goes into further eye-wincing detail:
'"Billy was only wearing his underpants at this stage. Helen grabbed his testicles and pulled them as hard as she could. Eventually he managed to get her off him and chucked her out the flat." But horrified Billy later looked down and realised he was bleeding heavily. The source added: "His scrotum had been ripped open and his testicles were dangling by his legs. There was blood all over the flat.'
The accused denies damaging any cojones though, telling the paper:
"I'll admit there was some pushing and shoving going on but I didn't touch his testicles. I've forgotten what his b***s even look like. He's not been near me for months."
Stay classy, Scotland.

Preconceived ideas of gender roles have led a lot of people to believe it would be virtually impossible for a women to physically abuse a man.
But co-director of Men's Rights Agency Sue Price says it is exactly this stereotype that leads to battered men hiding in shame, fearful of being ridiculed, or even prosecuted.
"I've had SAS soldiers in tears because the wife is a black belt karate expert and yet they know that if they even try to restrain her he might be charged with assault and domestic violence," she said.
Ms Price believes the reason there are no services for male victims comes down to money and the monopoly women's services have over it.
"Women's groups are in total denial that women can be violent and they maintain that stand because they want to garner all the funding that's available under the domestic violence legislation," she said.
"They won't take it that a man can be a victim of domestic violence, they always portray the mantra that it's always women who are victims and men who are perpetrators. That's clearly not true. We've known it for years but there's been an absolute refusal to acknowledge it."
She says this has helped contribute to the increase in women abusers and has called on other states to follow NSW and release their domestic abuse figures, which she believes would tell a similar story.Preconceived ideas of gender roles have led a lot of people to believe it would be... more

Katrina Effert's lawyer was incredulous that a court would find his client guilty of murder. It was "perverse," Peter Royal said. "A miscarriage of justice."
Effert had strangled her hours-old son Rodney, he conceded. Dumped the body, wrapped in towels, into a neighbour's yard. Lied to police.
But she was, he said, no murderer. And indeed, Effert's life sentence, given yesterday, for second-degree murder, marked a novel turn for Canadian law -- the latest legal step away from special Criminal Code considerations for new mothers, and toward holding women who kill their babies in the emotional, hormonal hours and weeks after birth, fully responsible for their actions.Katrina Effert's lawyer was incredulous that a court would find his client guilty... more

It's been revealed that women are becoming more violent towards their partners.
Figures from the NSW Bureau of Crime Statistics show the number of women charged with domestic violence-related assault has increased dramatically.
The figures show 2,336 women faced court on charges of domestic violence in 2007, mainly for bashing their husbands, compared with just 818 in 1999.
News Ltd says men's groups say they're happy that police are finally taking men seriously, but it's still hard for husbands to admit they've been attacked by their wives.
Research shows women tend to use guns, knives, boiling liquids and irons to attack their partners.
The increase in violence, which is often fuelled by alcohol, has sparked calls for refuges for men.
Assistant Commissioner Mark Murdoch says there's no definitive explanation for the increasing number of women being prosecuted for domestic violence offences.

At times, Damon Reddom Stone is a haunted four-year-old.
Sitting on his mother’s lap Monday, he ran his hands over her fingertips.
“He said, ‘Mommy, I wish I had normal hands like you,’” recalled Tina Reddom this week.
Every so often, she said, her youngster’s mind drifts back to the morning of Oct. 16, 2007 when a 24-year-old city woman — in a fit of supposed rage — forced his tiny hands into a pot of boiling water in the Applewood Drive apartment she shared with her then-boyfriend, Damon's father.
Damon, who was two at the time, sustained serious burns and will require several surgeries, skin grafts and therapy to treat the wounds.
After pleading guilty to assault causing bodily harm earlier this year, Magan Muir agreed to an 18-month sentence for the crime.
The first half of Muir’s sentence is being spent under house arrest, while during the remaining nine months she will be allowed out into the community under certain conditions.
Like many others in the community, the boy’s mother remains outraged at the sentence, charging her son was shortchanged by the criminal justice system.
Earlier this month, another blow was dealt to the Reddom family — Muir was granted a request to move to St. Catharines to finish serving her sentence while living with family.
“How can she choose where she is going to live? She should be serving her sentence in the community where she committed this crime, I think. And, the last time I checked, an inmate in a prison couldn’t say ‘Hey, I don’t like it here, can I move to another prison’. It doesn’t make sense to me, and quite frankly, pisses me off.
“Damon didn’t get an ounce of justice, not one stitch of justice.”
Reddom said her son, who is the youngest of two, will be dealing with his injuries for years to come — despite the long road he’s already walked during the past 20 months.
After the incident, Reddom took three months off work to ensure Damon received the best care, which included hours of daily physiotherapy and bandage changes.
“It was hell, to say the least, but at least he can use his hands ... and I am very grateful for that. I thank God every single day because Damon could have lost use of his hands because of his burns.”
During his visits to Sick Kids hospital in Toronto, Damon visits with a number of specialists, including psychiatrists and therapists.
The youngster is a trooper: doctors are impressed with his recovery from both the physical and mental trauma of the incident.
“I doubt myself a lot when it comes to helping with Damon’s healing process,” Tina said. “Am I doing the physiotherapy right, or am I changing his bandages properly ... so for him to be doing as well as he’s doing is such good news for us.”
Ensuring her two children are not consumed with bitterness about the family’s situation is a daily struggle.
“I tell you that some of the thoughts and the feelings that I’ve had in the last 20 months would land me behind bars for a very long time. But I look at my boy Damon everyday and he needs me more now than ever ... and what kind of mother would I be if I put myself at her (Muir’s) level? I’m above that — anyone who can do that to a child is scum on the bottom of the river.”
At the same time, Reddom feels as though she is failing her son — an emotion that has sparked an online frenzy through the social networking website Facebook.
“Our kids are our future and if the justice system isn’t going to protect them, who will? As a community and country, we need to stand up and tell our government that change is needed.”
To date, more than 8,200 people are members of her group ‘Where is the justice?’ — an element that Reddom hopes to harness into a special event to raise awareness about abused children and the “failings of the justiAt times, Damon Reddom Stone is a haunted four-year-old.
