The month before her husband's killing, Venn told a mental health service of her desperation but received very limited support. 9News

Judith Ann Venn had reached the end of the road when she overdosed her husband of over 40 years by lacing his favourite soup with pills before cutting his wrist, a court has been told.

Venn felt trapped as part of a close Christadelphian Church community that did not look outside for help, Wilson said. "Out of sheer loyalty to him did not mention it or did not make a big issue of it," Wilson told the court.She was also likely chronically sleep-deprived and getting more and more isolated and desperate.

Venn admitted to police she had decided to end her husband's life and her own due to frustration with his behaviour.
