Judith Ann Venn
In August 2020, Judith Ann Venn (born Judith Ann Henzell, 20 June 1954)[1][2] was charged with murder in relation to the death of her husband Lance Hilton Venn. It has been alleged Judith Venn drugged Lance Venn, cut his wrists and then took the same medication she used to drug Lance Venn. It has further been alleged that she intended it to look like a suicide.[3]
Judith Venn had reportedly been married to Lance Venn since 22 November 1975.[4][5]
The Australian Broadcasting Corporation has indicated that Judith Venn will allege that she was a victim of domestic violence over a long period of time.[6]
In August 2021 Judith Venn was permitted by a judge to sell the home she shared with Lance Venn before his death in order to fund her defence. This is reportedly the same home in which it is alleged that Judith Venn murdered Lance Venn.[7]
On 4 August 2023 Venn was sentenced to imprisonment but became immediately eligible to apply for parole as she has already been imprisoned for three years.[8][9]
