A woman chopped the head off a man who allegedly tried to attack her and then paraded the head through a market in northern India, police said Friday.

Police arrested the woman late Thursday after receiving calls from frightened witnesses who reported a blood-soaked woman holding a severed head was walking through the village, said police officer Ram Bharose.

The woman, 35, told police she had gone to a nearby forest to cut grass for fodder for her cattle when a man attacked her from behind.

"In a bid to save her dignity she beheaded him with a sickle," Bharose said, adding that the woman had bite marks on her neck and cheek.

The woman also told police that the man had been harassing and stalking her for three months and she had no regrets about killing him, he said, adding that she would probably be charged with culpable homicide.

The incident took place in Makkapurva village, roughly 200 kilometres southeast of Lucknow, the capital of Uttar Pradesh state.

Good for her... if someone was stalking, harassing me and then attacked me, i'd be taking their head too.

I could see killing someone to save myself. But she kind of loses my sympathies and understanding when she paraded the head through town, soaked in blood. jeepers.

 

[Avro]

Did she give it to someone?

I like a woman who gives head.

I see it as making a point to anybody else who thinks what this guy did was an ok thing to do.... probably not the best thing to do to serve your side of the story in regards to defense, but after being tormented, stalked, harassed and afterwards, attempted to rape her by the sounds of things for a number of months, sounds to me like she had a bit of fire in her and simply wasn't going to tolerate it anymore.

To me, it's the expression of someone who no longer wants to be a victim in life anymore.

As it goes for sympathies... this guy sounds like he had it comming so I certainly have a lot less sympathy for him then I do for her.

I just see it as there is no excuse for someone to do this to another human being and eventually it'll come down to being a victim or being someone who will fight to not be a victim..... I know you're not saying you defend the guy who did this, but I'm just making a general comment.

In my opinion, if someone is planning on assaulting you physically to the point where you could have mental/physical damage that can change the rest of your life...... or if someone is planning on raping you, or if someone is simply planning on killing you.... their life is no longer in question and it's a kill or be killed situation. Nobody should be put in that situation, and if the other person doesn't want to die, then they shouldn't commit these sorts of crimes against their fellow human being.

yes, but is severed head as appealing? From a woman apparently proficient with a sickle?

 

[karrie]

I get the symbolism and the statement of it Prax. My only problem with what she did, is it then traumatizes and makes secondary victims out of any children who would have been in the market during her grisly parade.

 

[thomaska]

Obviously there needs to be more "sickle" control laws there...

 

[Twila]

It will be interesting to learn about her fate now...

 

[eh1eh]

"LUlalalalalalaeeeeeeelalalalalalalalaleeeeeeeelalalalalalalalalaleeeeeelalalalalaeeeeelalalalalalala"

That's probably what she was saying on her trip through the market toting that head.

 

[scratch]

Convicted. Sentence dropped. Community service tops. Record expunged.

Just a personal opinion and observation.

Really?

Didn't seem to be a big deal when those Pro-Lifers decided to line up along the main drags to school and work here in the Maritimes with their posters of aborted fetuses, guts, blood and all that good stuff..... yelling at people as they passed by..... it wasn't just adults who saw these idiots parading around with their posters and "gore" but kids going to school as well.

What were the pro-lifer's excuse?

Well they claimed that it helped bring up the questions to their parents in if abortions were right or wrong.... that it would have at least scared children in not having abortions later on in life, etc etc....

^ So hey, if these turds can get away with doing this, I see no issue with this woman doing similar with someone who was actually dangerous to society and posed to her physical harm and perhaps death.

By the pro-lifer's mentality, it will just raise questions to those children's parents and perhaps prevent them from commiting similar acts when they grow up.

Tit for tat as I see it..... which is why until one is addressed, I won't care about how it affects the other, because to me, it's all the same.

I don't play the 'two wrongs make a right' game.

Besides, I'm not saying she deserves charges over it or anything, just... jeepers. That's all.

For me, two wrongs do make a right.... Eye for an Eye.

He has been harassing her for a few months, he attacked her, sounds like he was going to rape her, and chances are her life was also at risk..... I wouldn't have just sliced his head off, I would have shat in his mouth too..... while parading it around town.

You claim you don't feel she should be charged, and granted I see where you are coming from..... but as I see it, if someone is going to jepordize someone else's security and well being in life for their own selfish ways, they no longer have a life, therefore anything done to them is justified..... they brought it on themselves.

That's all.

On a side note, if any charges could be laid on her..... I might see charging her for disturbing the peace.... that's about it.

 

[karrie]

my comment about two wrongs don't make a right was about your side rant about pro-lifers in Canada excusing the actions of a woman in India, not about her right to defend her life. Just to clarify. You just kind of lost me on how one applied to the other.

I was refering to the publically showing of gore and the potiential of children seeing it.

But as a side note / another addition to explaining my mentality in regards to the Eye for an Eye mentality I have:

It stems from the old saying "Do onto others as you would have them do onto you" in order for this practice to actually work, it can not just stop at good deeds, but also towards punishment to those who do bad. If you do something violent to someone else, then equal retribution/punishment for your actions should apply...... in other words, if someone is willing to kill or rape someone, then you should expect the same returned apon yourself due to your actions. (AKA: You accept your actions you do onto others, therefore accept the same or worse to return onto you)

Sometimes a good deed you do for someone else may come back as an even better deed onto you.... therefore I see it as that if you do something bad to someone, expect the same or worse done to you..... therefore, I try my best not to screw over others in my life, and certainly avoid doing harm to others, as I expect it to return to me in equal or greater value.

^ Just to explain why i don't have much of an issue to what this woman did.

 

[Nuggler]

8O.........She was probably still in shock, given the enormity of her actions, and thusly paraded said deadhead throughout the village......."so says Dr. Froid"

Or, she was mad as hell and just wasn't going to take it any more.

Or, it was actually her boyfriend, and she was having a particularly bad PMS day....(yer gonna pay for that one, Nugg)

Or, she was just trying to better her situation and get ahead.

Or, he had asked for help with "those nasty white flakes".

Or, she had had enough of the grass cutting, and wanted to head off to town.

........hoonose!!:tard:

Two wrongs don't necessarily make a right (but the second wrong can make justice). Three lefts can
sometimes make a right though.

If are saying that she should get away with it, then you are just as sick as she is...

That she should get away with killing someone in self defense? hell yes I'm saying she should get away with that.

But beheading and wandering around with the head??? You are sick.
