In a shocking incident, a jilted husband tied his estranged wife to a bed and detonated a firecracker in her vagina because she refused to get back with him.
The 36-year-old Ukrainian refugee, Olekandr S, was sentenced for 18 years by a Czech court for the horrific attack.
During their last meeting, the estranged couple had sex. When his wife again refused to move back with him, Oleksandr S. tied his wife to the bed and inserted a firecracker into her genitals and lit it.
In harrowing testimony, his wife told the court: "I was thrown on the bed, I was lying on my stomach."
"He pushed my panties aside and put the firecracker in and then lit it."
"There was an explosion, my blood was flowing. He then released my mouth and untied me.”
She then she begged him to call paramedics but he just tossed her a rag to mop up her blood. Later, he relented and drove her still bleeding heavily to hospital.
However, Oleksandr S.'s claimed that the explosion was an accident, caused by a lighter used for light.
Oleksandr S. had appealed an earlier sentence from the Pilsen Regional Court, however
On September 10, judges confirmed the jail term of Oleksandr S., and he was also ordered to pay CZK 600,000 (GBP 20,000) compensation to his ex-wife and will be deported from the country when he is freed from jail.
