Woman found guilty of murdering her three children
A New Zealand court has rejected the claim of Lauren Dickason, 42, who killed her 2-year-old twin daughters, Maya and Karla, and her 6-year-old daughter Liane, almost two years ago, that she “killed” her. . daughters for her mental health and was not guilty.
Acknowledging that Lauren was depressed at the time of the murder, prosecutors stated that the situation in question “cannot be a reason to commit the crime” and noted that the mother committed the murders in anger.
In addition, prosecutors noted that Lauren had searched the Internet for “the most effective child overdose methods” weeks before the murder.
It is claimed that the court, which finds Lauren guilty of murdering her children, may sentence the mother to life in prison.
Lauren and her husband, Graham Dickason, both paramedics, had moved from South Africa to New Zealand days before the murder.
Lauren, who first tried to strangle her daughters with a wire, then killed her by strangling them with a pillow, then tried to kill herself by putting her children in their beds. Graham, for his part, said in his statement to police that he knew his wife was not in good mental health, but he never thought she would do such a thing. (AA)
