SYDNEY - An Australian woman was convicted of manslaughter Wednesday after burning her abusive husband to death during an attempt to set fire to his penis.
Rajini Narayan, 46, said she set out to "purify" her husband's genitals but threw petrol on his back and set it alight when he sneered at her plan and called her a "fat, dumb bitch".
"He was my hero, the man of my life, the love of my life," she told the Adelaide court earlier.
"I was going to purify his penis, leave a mark there and he would remain with me. He would be mine."
Narayan had told a neighbour she wanted to disfigure her husband's penis so no other woman would want him, suspecting him of having an affair, prosecutors said.
Her husband Satish Narayan, 47, died with burns to 75 percent of his body several weeks after the incident in December 2008, which also set fire to the family home.
