SA:'I have sinned': woman 'confessed' to murder of parents

A diabetic woman was recorded confessing to God she had killed her elderly parents days before being accused of murdering them with insulin, a court has heard.

Raelene Polymiadis, 65, is on trial in the South Australian Supreme Court charged with murdering Brenda and Lynton Anderson, who were both aged 94 when they died in March 2022 and May 2023 respectively.

Prosecutor Michael Foundas said a police listening device recorded her alone in her car praying to God on two separate occasions confessing to God that she had killed her parents.

"Please, Lord, you know, yes, I have sinned. I have. Thou shall not kill," she allegedly says in the recordings.

"I have sinned twice in my life, and I hate it, but I also know … your blessing, Lord, that they did not want to go to a nursing home, that was their wish."
