MAN
SEVERS PENIS IN BIZARRE
RELIGIOUS
MOVEMENT
SAO PAULO - In order to
"bring himself closer to God," a A 23-year-old convicted
Brazilian rapist sliced off his own penis and flushed it down the
toilet. Flavio dos Santos Cruz was found by prison guards screaming and
bleeding in his cell. "It is written in Bible that if a part of
your body distances you from God, and makes you commit a sin, you should
cut it off," Cruz told reporters. According to urologist Aerton
Barbosa Neves, who operated on Cruz, he will now have to urinate through
a tube, but can still impregnate someone, "albeit only with medical
assistance."
