A woman allegedly murdered her terminally ill partner shortly after he delayed making a decision on legal assisted dying at a palliative care meeting, a judge has heard.
Kylie Ellina Truswell-Mobbs was arrested on April 3, more than a year after the death of David Ronald Mobbs at Alexandra Hills in December 2023.

During a bail application in Queensland Supreme Court yesterday, Justice Glenn Martin heard Mobbs suffered from motor neurone disease, which rapidly damages a person’s ability to walk, talk and eat over time.
Crown prosecutor Sarah Dennis said Truswell-Mobbs was accused of making three attempts to administer a combination of drugs to Mobbs via his feeding tube.
She alleged Truswell-Mobbs took “matters into her own hands” after a meeting earlier that day concerning Mobbs’ palliative care.
“[Mobbs] indicated in the presence of a number of people that he wished to go on or at least have a further week before he considered his end-of-life options,” Dennis said.
