A woman has been sentenced to seven years in prison after admitting cutting off her lover's penis by tricking him into thinking she was going to perform a sex act on him.
The 38-year-old was handed her jail sentence after striking a last-minute deal with prosecutors at the start of her trial at a court in Barcelona yesterday.
She convinced her partner, also her boss, to cover his eyes with a napkin after promising him to give him oral sex, claiming she didn't want him to look because it made her feel embarrassed.
She then took out a knife she had hidden into her pocket and sliced off his manhood.
As well as dating the man she mutilated, he was also her boss at a bar in Sant Andreu de la Barca near Barcelona. They had been seeing each other for four years.

The amputation was complete and the victim, who comes from Bangladesh where he has a wife and children and has been identified only as Abdul, is still waiting for a prothesis.
Prosecutors believe his mistress could have acted out of jealousy because he was planning to return to his homeland.
They were demanding a 10-year prison sentence for a crime of aggravated wounding before yesterday's plea bargain deal.
The convicted woman, known only as Tanya, has also been ordered to pay her former boss and partner €250,000 (£215,000) in compensation.
She initially indicated she was pleading innocent at the start of her trial at Barcelona's Audiencia Provincial court, before changing her mind and admitting her guilt following a brief chat with her lawyer.
The penis slicing incident took place on May 31, 2021.
The victim ran to a nearby police station to raise the alarm and was rushed to hospital for an emergency op to reattach his manhood which was unsuccessful.
The woman subsequently arrested initially claimed self-defence, prompting reports at the time her boss could be detained.
Local police chief Oscar Carreras said immediately after the incident when the investigation was still at an 'early stage': 'The investigation is focused on discovering what happened inside the bar.'
'The injured man went to a police station in Sant Andreu de la Barca.
'A woman subsequently appeared at the same police station and made a series of comments in relation to this incident.
'We have aided the injured person and he was taken to hospital to be operated on for the serious wounds to his genital area.
'The woman was questioned and in her initial statement said she had been the victim of a sexual crime and that is something we are investigating.
'The man is the owner of the bar and the woman was working in that bar.'
Her claims she acted to protect herself during a sexual assault were dismissed, and the true story came out, thanks to CCTV camera footage.
The female attacker had already served two years behind bars as a remand prisoner before being bailed ahead of yesterday's scheduled trial.
The time she served will be taken into account in determining how long she has to go back to jail for.
The court heard the knife slash victim is now living with a relative and working part-time in a supermarket and surviving on a fraction of the amount he was previously earning as the owner of two bars.
A Brazilian woman confessed to cutting off her husband's penis during sex late last year and flushing it down the toilet.
The 34-year-old told cops she acted out of revenge after tying her partner's hands together using a pair of knickers and slashing his manhood while it was erect with a knife.
She is said to have taken a photo of the dismembered organ before getting rid of it down the loo.
The unnamed woman told officers when she handed herself in at a police station near the Brazilian city of Sao Paulo: 'Good night, I'm here because I've just cut my husband's penis off.'
An online fundraiser was later organised for Gilberto Nogueira de Oliveira for the prosthetic penis he wanted after Daiane dos Santos flushed his own pride and joy down the loo in a fit of jealous rage.
