Police Investigate Testicle Removal?

OAK PARK, Michigan -- Police are considering charges against a U.S. man who cut off the testicles of a man he met on the Internet.

Officers found the apparently willing victim sitting on a kerb in blood-stained jeans in Oak Park, Michigan.

They later found his testicles in a Tupperware container in a refrigerator at the home of the suspect.

Police said the victim met the Oak Park man through the Internet. The pair chatted online before meeting in person.

The Oak Park man allegedly removed the testicles with a scalpel while the other man was on the kitchen table.

The suspect first stitched the wound, and the two sat around eating pie. Soon afterward, the victim started bleeding uncontrollably.

Detective Lieutenant Bruce Smith told The Daily Tribune: "The victim said this is something he wanted to do. I don't know why. It's unbelievable."

He said the 48-year-old victim, from Birmingham, later underwent three hours of surgery in hospital. The suspect, who was 29, was released while authorities determine whether a crime was committed.
