A SELF-CONFESSED "jealous wife" who allegedly murdered her husband by torching his genitals told neighbours "his penis should belong to me", a court has heard.
Prosecutors today told the Adelaide Magistrates Court that Rajini Narayan should not be released on bail without an extensive psychological assessment, Adelaide Now reported.
Lucy Boord, for the Crown, said the 44-year-old had confessed to neighbours that she had set her engineer husband, Satish, alight upon learning he was having an affair.
"She told neighbours 'my husband loves another woman, he hugs her'," Ms Boord said.
Mrs Narayan said: "I'm a jealous wife, 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."

Burial plot brokers are reporting an uptick in the business of reselling grave sites, as money troubles prompt a growing number of people to put their burial plots up for sale, often at a loss.
Baron Chu, who owns the burial site resale business Plot Brokers, said he is doing nine or 10 times as much business as usual, a jump he attributes to the economic downturn, according to the Los Angeles-based Daily News.
Chu said people are only getting about a quarter of what their plots would have fetched six months ago because of the increased supply hitting the market. He said one client, who had just been evicted from her home, got $500 for a plot worth $6,800.

On the day that Donald Peters died, he unknowingly provided financial security for his wife of 59 years and their family.
Peters bought two Connecticut Lottery tickets at a local 7-Eleven store on Nov. 1 as part of a 20-year tradition he shared with his wife Charlotte. Later that day, the 79-year-old retired hat factory worker suffered a fatal heart attack while working in his yard in Danbury.
On Friday, his widow cashed in one of the tickets: a $10 million winner which, in her grief over her husband's death, she had put aside and almost discarded before recently checking the numbers.
"I'm numb," Charlotte Peters, 78, said at Connecticut Lottery headquarters in Rocky Hill.

THE contraceptive pill is polluting the environment and is in part responsible for male infertility, a report in the Vatican newspaper L'Osservatore Romano said today.
The pill "has for some years had devastating effects on the environment by releasing tonnes of hormones into nature" through female urine, said Pedro Jose Maria Simon Castellvi, president of the International Federation of Catholic Medical Associations, in the report.
"We have sufficient evidence to state that a non-negligible cause of male infertility in the West is the environmental pollution caused by the pill," he said, without elaborating further.

A brother and sister in England spent 40 years trying to find each other — then discovered they lived only 300 yards apart.
Ken Whitty, 64, walked past 62-year-old Yvonne’s house countless times and even saw her in the garden, but did not recognize her.
They were reunited only after Whitty wrote to his local paper appealing for help in his search.
Soon after his letter was published, he got a phone call saying: "Hello, this is Yvonne."
The pair spent their early years in Ordsall, Greater Manchester.
They were still kids when their parents died and were cared for by a family friend.
