Six months’ jail for woman who cut off husband’s organ

JOHOR BARU: The 48-year-old Indonesian woman who cut off her husband penis in jealousy was sentenced to six months jail by the magistrate’s court here.

Umidah Setu, a canteen helper, pleaded guilty to the charge under Section 324 of the Penal Code for causing grievous hurt.

Acting state CID chief Asst Comm Che Yusoff Che Ngah said her sentence would begin from Sept 23, the date of arrest.

Umidah cut off her husband, Qumarodin Bajuri’s penis with a knife, as he was about to go to sleep at a kongsi for construction workers in Taman Flora, Pulai last Saturday night.

The 39-year old man’s screams woke up other workers who rushed him to the Kulai Hospital where doctors were able to re-attach the organ through surgery.
