Two men were arrested in Wister, Oklahoma, for posing as doctors to castrate a patient. After removing the man’s testicles, they kept them in the refrigerator and, according to authorities, were preparing to eat the organs when they were arrested.
The warning came after the patient, a 28-year-old, appeared at the McAlester Regional Health Center Hospital to bleed profusely from the genital area. He was urgently hospitalized and said he wanted to be subjected to the removal of testicles. He looked on a website called ‘Eunuchmaker’ and was contacted by two men who said they were surgeons. They agreed to do the operation free of charge but, in return, asked the patient to keep the testicles removed.
In a Skype conversation, Bob Lee Allen, 53, said he and his accomplice, Thomas Evans Gates, 42, wanted to preserve the organs and then eat them. They reported that they had “six more patients waiting to undergo the same treatment” and that they had “the freezer full of human organs”.
According to the investigation, the ‘operation’ was carried out by the two men, who covered a wooden table with plastic and used a scalpel. The procedure will have taken two hours. When the patient woke up, he noticed that he was bleeding profusely and asked to be taken to the hospital. In a panic, the two fake doctors told him that the service “did not include mortgages or emergencies” and threatened him, asking the patient to seek medical help but to say that he himself had been responsible for the procedure.
The two fake doctors were caught in a ‘trap’ set up by the police at the hospital. In searches of Bob’s house, several bloody surgical instruments and a pair of testicles were found, which apparently are the victim’s, cleaned and prepared in a freezer bag, kept in the refrigerator.
The two men are accused of several crimes of surgery without a license and of causing “permanent disfigurement” of the victim. They are in preventive detention, subject to a security deposit of around 280 thousand euros.
