Show Notes
Lauren Dickason could be freed this decade after murdering her three daughters in Timaru in September 2021.
She's been given three concurrent 18-year sentences today, with no minimum non-parole period.
She'll be eligible for parole in six years.
ZB court reporter Blake Benny says Dickason will begin her sentence in a secure mental health facility.
"There, she'll undergo compulsory treatment - in following that, mental health experts will make that call on whether she's reached the point of actually being mentally well enough to then be transferred to prison."
