According to reports, Catherine Kieu Becker put a drug/poison in her estranged husband’s dinner Monday night to make him fall asleep.

She told responding officers he “deserved it” when they arrived the scene after she called 911, the police report states.

“Police were able to recover portions of the penis from the garbage disposal,” Garden Grove, California Police Lt. Jeff Nightengale said, but it was unclear whether doctors would be able to reattach them.
