Man Bites Off Girlfriend's Nose But Keeps Her Love
Thu Aug 14, 1:06 PM ET
BERLIN (Reuters) - A woman in Germany says she still loves her boyfriend even though he bit her nose right off.
Judge Beatrix Homann said on Thursday her court in the western city of Hanover had sentenced the 26-year-old man to 18 months in jail for the assault, but that his partner, age
50, had forgiven him.
"I still love this man," the judge quoted the woman, who has had six operations to build a synthetic nose, as saying at the hearing on Tuesday.
"He was just drunk," Homann told Reuters.
