Two parents and 12 members of an Australian religious congregation have been convicted of manslaughter in the tragic death of 8-year-old Elizabeth Rose Struhs. The young girl passed away on January 7, 2022, at her family's home in Toowoomba, Queensland, after being deprived of her insulin shots for six days due to her type-1 diabetes.
The father, Jason Richard Struhs, and the religious group leader, Brendan Luke Stevens, were initially charged with murder but were ultimately found guilty of manslaughter by Queensland Supreme Court Justice Martin Burns. Additionally, 12 other congregation members, including the victim's mother and brother, were also convicted of manslaughter.
