Dayane Cristina Rodrigues Machado, 33, was arrested by police in the Brazilian city of Sao Goncalo – across the Guanabara Bay from Rio de Janeiro – on of June 7.
Officers were called to the couple’s house in the neighbourhood of Santa Catarina and found the victim’s lifeless, naked and mutilated body inside.
He was identified only by his first name, Andre.
According to officers, his wife had cut off his penis and cooked it in soybean oil in a frying pan.

According to reports, the couple were together for 10 years and had been separated for two years, but still continued to see each other on and off.
They have an eight-year-old son and a five-year-old daughter, and they ran a pizzeria together. It is not clear if the children were present at the time of the crime.
