Aman who cut off an acquaintance’s testicle in a motel room, having replied to an advert asking for assistance with a “medical issues,” has pleaded guilty to a number of charges in a local court at Port Macquarie, New South Wales.
The alleged victim had posted a message online seeking help as he could not afford to pay for treatment through proper channels.
According to the Sydney Daily Telegraph, the 52-year-old man had been kicked in the groin by a horse some years earlier, after which he had experienced persistent problems with his left testicle.
He met with Allan George Matthews, 57, at a motel in Port Macquarie on May 16, at which time Mr Matthews removed the offending organ. A week later the man visited hospital seeking treatment after the wound became infected.
His visit triggered a police investigation, and on June 23 Mr Matthews' home was raided by officers who medical equipment, several bottles suspected to contain amyl nitrate, and seven firearms.
He appeared at Port Macquarie court on Wednesday morning. His solicitor Douglas Hannaway entered a guilty plea to a charge of removing tissue from the body of another without consent or authority. He pleaded not guilty to the charge of reckless grievous bodily harm.
Mr Matthews remains on conditional bail, and will return to court next month.
