In Australia a self-admitted “jealous wife” allegedly murdered her husband by setting his genitals on fire.

“His penis should belong to me,” Rajini Narayan allegedly told her neighbors is what the Adelaide Magistrates Court heard at a hearing on the crime, according to local newspaper Adelaide Now.

Prosecutors claim that the husband was asleep when Narayan doused his genitals with methylated spirit and then set him on fire. Prosecutors told the court that Narayan, 44 should be held without bail and should be ordered to undergo an extensive psychological assessment.

The court heard that Narayan confessed to neighbors that she had set her husband on fire after having learned that he was having an affair. “She told neighbors ‘my husband loves another woman, he hugs her’,” a witness said.

According to the court report Narayan did not intend to kill her husband, her intentions were only to burn his genitals.
“ I’m a jealous wife,” Narayan is said to have stated to neighbors. “His penis should belong to me, I just wanted to burn his penis so it belongs to me and no one else. It’s just his penis I wanted to burn, I didn’t mean this to happen.”

Narayan was originally charged with endangering life and arson.
After the hearing the charges against Narayan had been upgraded to murder.
