  • Sequence of events: Stand-up show date night escalates to argument
  • Argument details: Alcohol consumption and unclear provocation

The incident occurred at a hotel in Västervik in early March this year. According to major media reports, the couple's date night began with a stand-up show that the man had received as a Christmas gift on the evening of March 7. After the show, they ate dinner at a restaurant and went to one of the local pubs before returning to the hotel, where the police were alerted that two people were arguing.

The couple had started arguing, and during that, the woman bit the man on the tongue, with half of the tongue coming off, according to official sources. Neither the man nor the woman remember any details about the argument, official sources said. In interrogations, they reported that they had drunk some alcohol during the evening.

He is so damn annoying.

The woman, Accused

According to Aftonbladet, the woman described telling her husband, 'If you don't stop being so damn annoying, I'll bite off your tongue,' and the man described replying, 'Well then do it,' as noted in the police preliminary investigation protocol. The man reports in his interrogation with the police that after the argument with his wife, he noticed he was bleeding from the tongue. He then got dressed and went to the emergency room on his own, but says it was all an accident.

According to hospital staff notes, the tongue was bitten off and injured. After the tongue was examined, a doctor determined that the wound needed to be stitched but that it would heal. The exact medical condition and prognosis for the man's tongue injury remain unclear.

If you don't stop being so damn annoying, I'll bite off your tongue.

The woman, Accused

In an interrogation with the woman in the hotel room, she fairly quickly tells the police that she had bitten her husband, according to major media reports. In the hotel room, the police also found blood splatters on the bedclothes and in the sink. The woman admits that she bit her husband on the tongue but also says that it was not intentional, official sources said.

What specific actions or words led to the argument between the couple at the hotel is unknown, and it is unclear what evidence or legal grounds support the charge of aggravated assault versus a lesser charge. The woman is now charged with aggravated assault, according to major media reports. She admits to the course of events but denies the crime, major media reports indicate.

Well then do it.
