Rajini Narayan, 44, is accused of killing her husband Satish by dousing his genitals in methylated spirit while he slept.

Mr Narayan, who suffered burns to 85 per cent of his body, died in hospital 20 days later.

After the fire Mrs Narayan was overheard by neighbours saying she had only wanted to burn her husband's penis "so it belongs to me and no one else," prosecutors claimed.

"It's just his penis I wanted to burn, I didn't mean this to happen," the Adelaide Advertiser quoted her as saying.

Lucy Boord, prosecuting, said that Mrs Narayan believed her husband was having an affair and was jealous.

"She told neighbours 'my husband loves another woman, he hugs her'," she said.
