    The trial of a mother accused of killing her three children in Timaru, will be held in Christchurch

    The trial of a mother accused of killing her three children in Timaru, will be held in Christchurch


    Lauren Dickason allegedly killed six-year-old Liané and two-year-old twins Maya and Karla on September 16, just weeks after the family emigrated from South Africa.

    She was once again excused from appearing in person at the Christchurch High Court today.

    Dickason's lawyer has filed an application to have her 2023 trial moved from Timaru, where the alleged offending happened, to Christchurch.

    The judge has agreed, but says it means the trial may need to be moved to 2024.
