A FORMER Pretoria doctor accused of murdering her three daughters after moving to New Zealand intends entering not-guilty pleas.

Lauren Dickason, 40, is accused of killing Liané, 6, and 2-year-old twins Maya and Karla on September 16 by strangling them with cable ties. She is in Hillmorton Hospital’s forensic unit in Christchurch for mental evaluation.

On Friday, her appearance by video link was excused when the case was called in the High Court, the New Zealand Herald reported. There was a link to the Timaru Court House so relatives and media could watch proceedings.
