From Morning Report, 7:36 am on 26 June 2024

The long-awaited sentencing of convicted killer Lauren Dickason takes place today nearly a year after she was found guilty of murdering her three children. The 43-year-old has been remanded at Christchurch's Hillmorton Hospital for several months, where she has undergone psychiatric testing, as instructed by the court. Sentencing was originally scheduled for last December, but had been pushed back multiple times. RNZ reporter Adam Burns is covering the hearing.
