An Australian court has charged a 44-year-old woman with murder after allegedly setting the genitals of her husband on fire in a fit of jealousy.

The Adelaide Magistrates Court initially charged Rajini Narayan with endangering life and arson, but the charges were upgraded to murder after her husband, 47-year-old Satish Narayan, died last week from his burns.

Prosecutors say Narayan poured an alcohol-based solvent on the genitals of her sleeping husband on Dec. 8. She set him on fire after seeing him hug another woman.

The husband knocked over a bottle of alcohol when he woke up, causing the fire to spread and damage $715,000 in properties, including their neighbors'.

Narayan is facing murder charges, as well as arson and three counts of endangering life because their three children were at home at the time of the fire.
