An abusive woman ripped a hole in her husband's scrotum when she picked him up by his testicles during a row.

Andrew Collings was left with a 2″ by 1″ hole after the attack at the hands of his now ex-wife Catherine Collings, 51.

Collings also left him blind in one eye after poking his eyes with her fingers.

She also beat Mr Collings, who lost a leg in a car crash when he was 20, with his crutch.

Despite the string of horrific violence, Collings has avoided jail, having been handed a suspended sentence at Exeter Crown Court.

He did not seek medical help to stitch up the wound because he wanted to protect his wife.

Prosecutor Jonathan Barnes said the couple had been married for 30 years and had a number of grown up children.



He said police became involved when Mr Collings went to hospital in April 2014 with a dislocated lens in his left eye – and his right eye was also damaged.

He told the surgeon he had fallen into a hedge but later told the truth when the medic said 'blunt trauma' had been used on both eyes.

Mr Collings said she wouldn't stop her attacks because 'she was enjoying it'.

In a police interview, Collings, from Torquay, Devon, admitted she had attacked her husband but said it was 'not one-sided'.

Kevin Hopper, defending, said Collings suffered from anxiety and personality disorders, adding: 'These are nasty and deeply unpleasant offences.'

Collings pleaded guilty to two charges of inflicting grievous bodily harm and three counts of causing actual bodily harm.

An indefinite restraining order was made banning her from any contact with her ex-husband.
