Pensioner chops off penis after wife leaves him for younger man

Turgut Oymen, 73, was left devastated after his lifelong sweetheart, Nese, left him for a young doctor on the eve of their golden wedding anniversary. In anger, the heartbroken pensioner chopped off his penis and threw it in a river.

While Nese, 70, was 550 miles away in Istanbul, Turkey, she called Turgut to say she had fallen in love with a 55-year-old doctor, and had decided to stay in the city.

In despair, the 73-year-old rushed down to the river to commit the act before calling for an ambulance.

The bleeding pensioner, was taken to hospital where doctors operated to patch up the gaping wound after a search of the river bank failed to find the missing organ.

A hospital spokesman said: “He lost a lot of blood and is lucky he didn’t die at his age. He told medics that he had decided to get rid of his manhood because he felt it was useless and he felt like he was no longer a man.”

Mehmet Koc, 70, a friend, said the father-of-six had been devastated by the news, adding: “He was absolutely devoted to Nese and when she said she wasn’t coming back his whole world fell apart.

“He phoned her and begged her to return but she refused, saying she was in love with this doctor. He said he had devoted his life to her and could not even think about meeting someone else.”

Oymen, according to Daily Mail UK, is now recovering and being treated for depression.
