Brisbane woman charged with murdering terminally ill husband granted bail after year in custody

Tuesday, 9 June 2026, 06:25 · 1 min read

A 51-year-old Brisbane woman charged with murder after administering a lethal dose of medication to her husband — a former firefighter in the final stages of motor neurone disease — has been released on bail. Kylie Ellina Truswell-Mobbs was granted bail by Queensland's Supreme Court after Justice Paul Smith found evidence had emerged since her committal hearing suggesting she may have been conflicted about her actions, raising the possibility of acquittal or conviction on lesser charges such as manslaughter or assisted suicide. Her husband, David Ronald Mobbs, was entirely bedridden and communicating only by blinking at the time of his death in December 2023; his family had been told hours earlier that the voluntary assisted dying process would take at least nine days to initiate.
