    Lauren Dickason could be freed this decade - after murdering her three daughters in Timaru, in September 2021

    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.

    Reporter Blake Benny was in court.

    He says Dickason will begin her sentence in a secure mental health facility - and stay there until she's mentally well enough to be transferred to prison.
