Son of woman charged with murdering partner with MND claims father wanted to overdose, court documents show​

The son of a Queensland woman accused of murdering her terminally ill partner claims he confirmed with his father that he wanted to overdose, court documents show.

Kylie Truswell-Mobbs is charged with killing her partner, David Ronald Mobbs, 58, at their Alexandra Hills home in December 2023.

Mr Mobbs had an aggressive form of Motor Neurone Disease (MND) and required full-time care after losing control of his muscles, speech, swallowing, and bowel and bladder movement.

Stepson tells hearing terminally ill man 'wanted to be done' as wife committed to stand trial for his murder​

A south-east Queensland woman accused of murdering her terminally ill husband by giving him a "cocktail" of medication to end his life has been committed to stand trial.

David Mobbs, 56, who had motor neurone disease, died at his Alexandra Hills home in December 2023.

More than a year later, his wife, Kylie Truswell-Mobbs, was arrested and charged with his murder.

The 51-year-old faced a committal hearing in the Brisbane Magistrates Court today, where witnesses were called to give evidence about the events surrounding her husband's death.
At the end of the hearing, the magistrate told Ms Truswell-Mobbs the evidence before the court was sufficient to put her on trial.

Asked if she wished to say anything, Ms O'Gorman said she was instructed on behalf of her client to say no.

She was ordered to stand trial in the Supreme Court in Brisbane on a date to be set.
