“The woman was at home with her 13-year-old son when the 45-year-old accused entered their house. However, thinking that a thief had sneaked in, her son ran to safety out of the house,” he said.
The accused then hit the 42-year-old woman and tried to rape her. Nevertheless, she kept dodging his attempts for more than 20 mins, he added.
To save herself from the sexual assault, the woman chopped off the man’s genitals with a sickle lying under her cot.
