Sydney:
An Australian chef killed his former wife after she allegedly called him a "eunuch" and "sexually incompetent", a media report said on Tuesday.
Jiagen Pan told a Brisbane Supreme Court jury that he became furious and "felt like a volcano" when he strangled Linjin Cui, 32, at her home west of Brisbane in August 2009.
"I was really angry about it, I felt like all my blood went into my brain," the Brisbane Times quoted him as saying. "She kept on saying I'm useless, I'm sexually incompetent."
Pan, 45, who was divorced from Cui in March 2009, is on trial for murdering Cui at her home in Springfield Lakes. He has pleaded not guilty to murder, claiming he killed her but he was provoked, the report said.
He chopped her body into pieces and tried to hide the parts in a hallway cupboard at his townhouse in Woodridge.
"I was too scared, I simply wanted to hide the body somewhere so that no one could find her," the report quoted him as saying.
Defence lawyer Soraya Ryan said the killing occurred when her client went to Cui's home and the pair argued about a $700 tax bill.
Cui called him a "loser" and words which translated from Mandarin to English as "you're not a man, you never satisfied me as a man, you never brought me to orgasm".
