Bertha Boronda

Bertha Boronda (née Zettle; March 14, 1877 – January 18, 1950) was an American woman who sliced off her husband's penis in 1907. She was convicted of the crime of mayhem; she used a straight razor to slice off her husband's penis. She fled the scene of the crime, but was captured the next day.

      In the aftermath of the incident, Bertha and Frank Boronda divorced. Both Frank and Bertha later remarried. Bertha married Alexander Patterson in 1921, however the two eventually divorced.
