Members of a Toowoomba religious sect have been found guilty of killing eight-year-old Elizabeth Struhs by withholding her insulin in 2022.

Justice Martin Burns found Elizabeth’s father, mother, brother Zachary and 11 other adult members of the group, known as the Saints, guilty of manslaughter. The sect members knew Elizabeth was a type 1 diabetic who required insulin to live, the court heard, but it was deliberately withdrawn as a result of their religious faith.
