A jury will be asked to decide if the woman accused of murdering her three children in their Timaru home was insane at the time.
Lauren Dickason allegedly killed 6-year-old Lian茅 and 2-year-old twins Maya and Karla in September 2021.
She appeared in the High Court at Christchurch today, where it was confirmed she'll mount a defence of insanity and infanticide at her trial, which begins next month.
