Convicted murderer Lauren Dickason is now waiting to find out what her sentence will be for killing her three young children.
In an 11-to-1 decision, the jury found Dickason was not insane and knew what she was doing when she attempted to strangle and then smothered her three children, in 2021.
She was found guilty of murdering them.
Reverend Alan Cummins is the Timaru Hospital chaplain.
He met Graham Dickason after the tragedy and led a vigil in Timaru days later.
Cummins spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.
