Brenda Barattini, an architect, attacked a 40-year-old man in the town of Cordoba while he was asleep.
The 26-year-old Argentine woman was arrested after cutting off her lover’s penis with a pair of gardening shears. The man was rushed to hospital after losing a large amount of blood but is now in a stable condition.
Barattini was arrested and has confessed to her crime. The exact circumstances are unclear, but the officers do not believe Barattini was staying at the man’s home before carrying out the attack.
They believe she entered the home in the early hours before mutilating the man. It is unknown whether medics were able to locate the man’s severed genitals and if it will be possible to reattach them.
Investigations are ongoing as to why Barattini carried out such an attack.
