Indian woman charged with murdering hubby by burning his genitals Down Under
January 3rd, 2009 - 1:02 pm ICT by ANIMelbourne, Jan 3 (ANI): An Indian woman who allegedly set her sleeping husband’’s genitals alight in their Australian house has been formally charged with his murder.
Last month, Rajini Narayan was arrested after fire destroyed her family’’s Unley home.
Her husband, Satish Narayan, suffered severe burns and died last Saturday.
It has been alleged that Narayans wife doused his genitals with methylated spirit and then set him on fire about 5.30am on December 7, reports News.com.au.
It is believed a major blaze was sparked at the couples Cleland Ave townhouse in Unley when Narayan jumped out of bed and knocked over the bottle of methylated spirit.
Narayan suffered burns to 85 per cent of his body. His wife and their three kids, however, escaped unharmed from the burning house.
Rajini, 44, is listed to appear in Adelaide Magistrates Court on Monday morning on upgraded charges including murder and endangering life. (ANI)
