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.
