A warning, parts of this next story are distressing. Lauren Dickason sobbed in the High Court hearing the recording of her police interview, in which she discusses killing her three daughters.

Mrs Dickason is on trial in Christchurch for the murder of her two-year-old twins, Karla and Maya and six-year-old Liané in Timaru in 2021.

Lauren Dickason denies the charges, arguing insanity and infanticide.
