Dickason Murders | Mum sentenced to 18 years in mental health facility

A South African woman found guilty of killing her three daughters in Timaru, New Zealand, has been sentenced to 18 years in a mental health facility. Lauren Dickason had earlier admitted killing her 2-year-old twin daughters Maya and Karla, and their 6-year-old sister Lianè, at their home nearly two years ago. Prosecutors acknowledged Dickason had suffered from depression but said it wasn’t enough to warrant a medical defence. Is a mental health facility a better place to rehabilitate someone like her?
