Raelene Polymiadis, 65, of Craigmore, is standing trial in South Australia's Supreme Court after pleading not guilty to murdering her elderly parents, Brenda and Lynton Anderson, by injecting them with her own insulin in 2022 and 2023. Brenda and Lynton Anderson, both aged 94, died a year apart.

The court has released handwritten notes allegedly penned by Polymiadis. One note, written in the top corner of a piece of paper, reads: "What they will do is wait for a few weeks months year to see if I think I got away with it and I get cocky and slip up. Hang on buddy, it could be a long ride."

Another note questions, "Why only now are you speaking with me and it's only a few days after the funeral!!" The notes also include references to events occurring in hospital, with one passage stating, "He was out to it — unconscious I guess but breathing with help of oxygen I 'think' — I'm sorry this is really hard relieving all this — is it absolutely necessary," and another saying, "… just holding his hand, talking to him, but I got no response (sob)."

Prosecutors told the jury that these notes were allegedly found during searches of Polymiadis's house and car and detailed what she should say to police during questioning. Supreme Court Justice Sandi McDonald approved the release of these notes.

Polymiadis's lawyer, Marie Shaw KC, told the jury that the context of the alleged confession would be examined during the trial. Shaw questioned whether Polymiadis was admitting responsibility or expressing feelings of responsibility to her god, stating, "The issue about the alleged confession is: was my client admitting she was responsible for the deaths or was she telling her god she felt responsible for their deaths because if they died of insulin administration, they must have accessed her insulin?"

The trial continues as the court considers the evidence surrounding the deaths of Brenda and Lynton Anderson.
