The Christchurch trial of a woman accused of murdering her young children in Timaru in 2021 has concluded its third day.
Lauren Dickason admits killing her daughters, but denies it was murder, by reason of insanity and infanticide.
Husband Graham Dickason has been cross examined in the High Court about her relationship with the girls.
The Herald's Anna Leask says the jury also heard details about the couple's fertility battles.
"We've heard some pretty harrowing evidence from him about the couple's fertility struggles in their journey to have children, which included a really sad loss of a wee baby at just 18 weeks gestation."
