ADDIS ABABA, Oct 3 (Reuters) - An enraged Ethiopian mother
of five will be tried for the murder of her husband who died
after she crushed his testicles in a fight, police told the
state-run Ethiopian News Agency.
Police said on Friday the man was so embarrassed after the
incident that he declined to seek treatment for the injury, and
died days later.
"Following a disagreement over the husband's spending
habits, his wife refused to give him his dinner and also decided
to sleep alone," police in the western region of Wellega said.
"The husband was so angered by this affront by his wife that
he tried to beat her. In the melee that followed, the wife
grabbed and twisted his testicles causing serious damage."
Police said the unnamed woman, a resident of Wayu-Tuka
district in Wellega, had had several rows with her husband over
his free-spending habit on booze.
