    Closing addresses in the triple murder trial of Lauren Dickason in the High Court in Christchurch are set to begin today

    Closing addresses in the triple murder trial of Lauren Dickason in the High Court in Christchurch are set to begin today


    She admits killing her daughters in Timaru in 2021, but is mounting a defence of insanity and infanticide

    Today the jury will hear a full day of final closing addresses from the Crown and defence lawyers.

    On Monday, they'll be sent to begin deliberations after Justice Cameron Mander sums up the trial.

    Five experts have given evidence on Dickason's mental state - two supporting the Crown case of murder, and three who believe she was insane at the time of the alleged offending.
