    CHIGWELL: Woman finds boyfriend almost castrated
    Eleanor Rothery found her boyfriend almost castrated
    Eleanor Rothery found her boyfriend almost castrated

    A WOMAN on holiday in the Caribbean has spoken of her horror after she returned to her hotel room to find her fiancee semi-conscious with his penis almost sliced off.

    Eleanor Rothery, 21, who has been living in Chigwell during her gap year, was celebrating her engagement to Alan Reed in the Dominican Republic when he suffered the injury apparently after an unexplained attack.

    The couple had become separated after a night out. After several hours of searching, Miss Rothery discovered her boyfriend in their hotel room in a pool of blood.

    She said: "He was sprawled out on the bed in just a pair of shorts that were covered in blood when I walked in. I alerted hotel reception immediately and they phoned for an ambulance as soon as they came to the room."

    Mr Reed, a 33-year-old plumber, from Paddington, London, has now been operated on and told he should suffer no long-term damage.

    Miss Rothery currently lives in Chigwell where she is on a gap year working for the charity CSV.

    A recent physics graduate from Warwick University, she spends her time looking after a Chigwell father-of-two who is suffering from kidney problems.

    She said she had no idea why her fiancee had been attacked, adding: "He doesn't appear to have had anything stolen, so it's all pretty baffling. I'm just relieved he's still alive."

    Police in the Dominican Republic are treating Mr Reed as a victim of assault and are reported to have made a number of arrests.

    Why doesn't she ask him, mmmm - all seems very fishy to me. Any statement from the victim?

    Naive?
