Mayor castrated by jealous man

Mayor Dominique Leboucher, 55, from Bretteville-le-Rabet in France's northern Calvados region was  stabbed and castrated by a 39-year-old electrician.
The attacker had no previous police record and was "clearly very much in love" with his girlfriend and suspected the mayor of having an affair with her, officials said Friday.
He subsequently committed suicide.
The mayor's wife reportedly said she did not believe her husband was cheating.
"I do not believe this thing about infidelity at all," said Yannick Guesnon, one of the mayor's deputies, adding that the attack appeared to be "an act of madness."
Albert Gibot, a pensioner in the village, said the attacker, a father of two, had "blown a fuse as his partner used to attend meetings of the local council in the evenings."
The mayor, who worked in insurance sales, first became a councillor in 2001 before taking up the post of deputy mayor in 2008. 
He was elected mayor in March's municipal elections.
