An motion to bar an Adelaide woman accused of killing her parents from accessing their assets was approved by a District Court Civil Judge.
Raelene Polymiadis is charged with murdering her parents by reportedly administering them separate doses of her own insulin.
She allegedly administered insulin to her father, Lynton Anderson, who was living independently at their Hackham home earlier this year, and again to her mother, Brenda Anderson, while she was hospitalized in 2022, according to police allegations.
On Tuesday, the prosecution requested that Ms. Polymiadis’s interest in her parent’s property portion and the sum of $196,525 be frozen.
Judge Nick Alexandrides was questioned by the prosecution, Jacob Slocombe. “Simply to restrain the respondent having access to her quarter share the restraint would only be on the portion of the estate,” he said.
The Hackham home of Brenda and Lynton Anderson had been granted probate, but the assets had not yet been dispersed, according to the court’s information.
Before the hearing, Ms. Polymiadis’s attorney claimed she had not received any documents pertaining to the application.
She stated, “My client hasn’t been able to give us with any documents because she’s on home detention bail.
Judge Alexandrides denied the prosecutor’s request for an adjournment despite the defense attorney’s request, noting that Ms. Polymiadis could file another application in this case.
The property will be restrained in the interim in accordance with the proposed orders, which this court will confirm, according to Judge Alexandrides.
The Supreme Court granted Ms. Polymiadis bail in August of this year.
The 62-year-old had unusual circumstances due to her medical issues, thus the judge granted her bail request.
She passed out in court during a previous hearing and was taken away by SA Ambulance personnel.
Justice Julie McIntyre previously acknowledged that Ms. Polymiadis’ diabetes-related health issues were being exacerbated by her time spent in prison following her initial arrest.
Ms. Polymiadis was granted bail with tight terms for house confinement.
This included requiring Ms. Polymiadis to give up her passport, stay at her son’s house, wear an electronic monitoring bracelet, and refrain from speaking to her siblings.
