In a case that has sent shock waves across the globe, a South African mother, Lauren Dickason, has gone on trial in New Zealand for the murder of her three young daughters.
According to New Zealand news website, stuff.co.nz, prosecutor Andrew McRae opened the Crown’s case on Monday where he revealed the shocking circumstances of how on the evening of September 16, 2021 Dickason killed her three daughters, Liané, 6, and two-year-old twins, Maya and Karla.
The three children were “asphyxiated by way of cable ties applied to the neck,” he said.
The family had recently arrived in Timaru, New Zealand in August 2021 to begin their new lives after Dickason’s husband, Graham Dickason, an orthopaedic surgeon, had gotten a job at Timaru Hospital.
Dickason herself had worked as a doctor in Pretoria before immigrating.
