Kylie Ellina Truswell-Mobbs, a woman who allegedly murdered her terminally ill partner after he delayed making end-of-life decisions at a palliative care meeting, has been arrested over a year after his death in Brisbane. During the hearing, it was revealed that Truswell-Mobbs attempted to administer lethal drugs through her partner's feeding tube within hours of their shared discussion about terminal care options.
