Cops: Angry Wife Poured Boiling Water On Hubby's Genitals

SPRINGFIELD GARDENS, N.Y. (WPIX) - A Queens woman became so bitter when she discovered her husband was cheating on her that she poured boiling water on his genitals as he slept, police said.

Authorities say Oyinda Ojofeitimi, 67, a registered nurse, walked in to her bedroom and poured scalding water on her sleeping husband in an act of revenge. Mrs. Ojofeitimi was so incensed at her husband's infidelity that she wanted to stop him from ever doing it again, police said.

Mrs. Ojofeitimi apparently had regrets after scorching her husband's privates so she called 911, police said. She was treating him for his burns with cold compresses when paramedics arrived to the scene. He was rushed to the burn unit at Nassau University Hospital.

Emmanuel "Ojo" Ojofeitimi, 67, sustained second and third degree burns over 30% of his body. His wife told police she was motivated by the discovery that her husband of 20 years had been unfaithful.

Mrs. Ojofeitimi was arrested and charged with assault and harassment; her lawyer maintains that Mr.Ojofeitimi "had a history of abusing her both physically and psychologically."
