A 38-year-old man almost died after his jealous wife squeezed his genitals for allegedly committing adultery.

The accused whose name was given as Josephine, according to the complainant Francis, committed the crime while he was asleep.

The couple according to reports, have been married for over 15 years, with five children. The couple has however not known peace ever since the woman suspected her husband of having amorous affairs with other women.

The woman accused the man of extra-marital affairs and in retaliation she desperately grabbed his testicles and squeezed hard for five minutes until he fell to the ground.

But for the intervention of neighbours, the victim said he would have died since his wife was not ready to release his penis.

Francis who is also a taxi driver, narrating his ordeal on Nhyira FM’s Obra show, expressed shock at the conduct of his wife.

According to him, his wife engaged him in a fight after he returned home late from work. He just ignored her and went to bed only for her to "grab my penis, pulled it with all force until I fell unconscious".

He also claimed Josephine assaults him with sticks, metal rods and other objects.
