The Lower Hutt teacher accused of importing euthanasia drugs has also been charged with helping another person to commit suicide.
Susan Dale Austen, a member of pro-euthanasia group Exit Wellington appeared in the Wellington District Court this morning where the new charge was laid against her.
The charge, which carries a maximum sentence of 14 years imprisonment, says Austen aided another woman to commit suicide sometime between December 21, 2015 and June 7, 2016.
She has not pleaded to any of the charges yet.
Protesters stood outside the courthouse this morning in support of Austen, as they have done at each of her previous appearances.
