Nothing like taking matters into your own hands (literally) when the police will not act.

In this case a somewhat annoyed German man who found out that his 17 year old daughter had a boyfriend and then went round to the boyfriends house with two workmates to remove the suitors testicles.

Now, you may think that is a somewhat extreme reaction but the boyfriend was actually 57 years old which is somewhere in the realms of creepy.

Very strange :

Helmut Seifert, 47, an ethnic German originally from Russia, was enraged when he heard his 17-year-old daughter was having a relationship with Phillip Genscher, 57.

He went to police in the town of Bielefeld where he lives but officers said they were powerless to intervene.

“The man then recruited two work colleagues at his factory and then went to the house of the victim,” said police.

“The man was forced to remove his trousers and, fully conscious, he was castrated. The severed testicles were taken away by the perpetrator.”

The man was close to bleeding to death but managed to call police. His life was saved but he remains a eunuch for life.

Seifert pleaded guilty and will be on trial for attempted murder next year. But he has remained silent on who his accomplices were.

He told police: “I received a phone call anonymously that my daughter was involved with a guy 40 years older than her. You said you couldn’t stop him – so I did.

“I saw it as my duty as a father.”

Interestingly, they don’t mention what he actually did with the old guy’s nuts.

Perhaps they went to this restaurant in Berlin – Prairie Oysters anyone?
