A woman allegedly murdered her terminally ill partner soon after he delayed making a decision on legal assisted dying at a palliative care meeting, a judge has heard.

Kylie Ellina Truswell-Mobbs, 50, was arrested on 3 April, more than a year after the death of David Ronald Mobbs, 56, at Alexandra Hills, in Brisbane's south-east, in December 2023.
