The leader of a religious group charged with the murder of an eight-year-old girl this year has been ordered to stand trial over a separate incident that nearly killed her three years ago.
At a hearing in the Toowoomba Magistrates Court on Wednesday, Brendan Luke Stevens, 60, was today committed to stand trial in the District Court with failure to provide the necessaries of life for Elizabeth Struhs after she became severely ill with undiagnosed type 1 diabetes in July 2019.
