An Australian woman has appeared in court in Adelaide charged with murdering her husband by setting fire to his penis.

“I just wanted to burn his penis so it belongs to me and no one else, I didn’t mean this to happen,” Ms Boord quoted Mrs Narayan as saying.

The fire, on 8 December 2008, caused damage to the couple’s house estimated at 1m Australian dollars ($715,000, £490,000).

They were charged last month with selling the Whizzinator penis – a lifelike device used to emit clean, realistically warm urine instead of the user’s true urine.

The device, sold on the internet, came with its own heating and Yellow River urine packs.

It was also available in several skin tones including white, tan, latino, brown, and black.”

“Rumors of penis theft began circulating last week in Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of Congo’s sprawling capital of some 8 million inhabitants. They quickly dominated radio call-in shows, with listeners advised to beware of fellow passengers in communal taxis wearing gold rings.

Purported victims, 14 of whom were also detained by police, claimed that sorcerers simply touched them to make their genitals shrink or disappear, in what some residents said was an attempt to extort cash with the promise of a cure.”
