We Report, You Deride

Real Headline from The Herald Sun of Durham, N.C.:

"Woman charged with malicious castration for Christmas party fight."


Money quote from police spokesman: "All we can tell you is that the injury was done with her hands. There were no weapons used."

Am I the only one who doesn't understand the use of the word "malicious" in this context? What's the other kind like?
