Men Admit To Chopping Off Man’s Penis And Nipple As Part Of Dark Web Broadcast

Damien Byrnes, 35, admitted removing Marius Gustavson’s penis and nurse Nathan Arnold, 48, admitted partially removing Mr Gustavson’s nipple.

The men, of London, admitted causing grievous bodily harm (GBH) with intent.

Mr Gustavson, 45, is accused of leading an extreme body modification operation.

A third man, who prosecutors said was a “key player, who had a role as a surgeon in a very large number of procedures”, also admitted several offences.

Procedures, including the removal of penises and testicles, were allegedly filmed and uploaded to a payable subscription “eunuch maker” website, run by the alleged ringleader Mr Gustavson, the Old Bailey heard.

The practice is linked to a subculture where men become “nullos”, short for genital nullification, by having their penis and testicles removed, the court was told.
