The wider family of three young South African girls who died weeks after arriving in New Zealand with their parents will be considered for emergency MIQ spaces, a Government official says.
Two-year-old twins Maya and Karla Dickason and their older sister, Liane Dickason, 6, were found dead in a Timaru house late Thursday evening.
Their mother, Lauren Anne Dickason, has been charged with their murders.
The 40-year-old medical professional, who arrived in Timaru from South Africa - via MIQ - with her orthopaedic surgeon husband and their three daughters just over a week ago, was remanded in custody to a secure forensic mental health unit by Judge Dominic Dravitzki until her next appearance in the High Court at Timaru on October 5.
