Justice Cameron Mander told the defence counsel that because Lauren Dickason was not appearing, the defendant would need to sign a written notice.
Cape Town – A former Pretoria doctor accused of murdering her three daughters soon after moving to New Zealand intends entering not guilty pleas.
On Friday, her appearance by video link was excused when the case was called in the High Court, the New Zealand Herald reported. Friday’s session took place in the High Court at Christchurch, with a link to the Timaru Court House so relatives and local media could also watch proceedings. Dickason, who was hospitalised after the incident, had appeared in court in Timaru on September 18 for a psychiatric assessment. The trial has been scheduled for March 2023 and Dickason was remanded to a case review hearing on December 17.
