Dickason Family Case
# Dickason Family Case

On September 16, 2021, in Timaru, New Zealand, South African mother Lauren Anne Dickason killed her three daughters Liane (6), Maya and Karla (both aged 2) by smothering them. The father of the three daughters, Graham Dickason, was away from the home at a work event while the alleged killing took place, coming home and finding Lauren confused on the situation.

Lauren pleaded not guilty on all three of the deaths of her daughters, relying on the defence of her mental health at the time. The trial on the case is currently taking place at the Christchurch High Court in New Zealand.
