Fourteen members of religious cult will face trial over death of eight-year-old girl who was allegedly taken off her diabetes medicine so she could be 'healed by God'

Fourteen members of an obscure religious cult have been indicted on charges over the death of an eight-year-old girl, including her father and mother.

Queensland police allege that Elizabeth Struhs died in Toowoomba in January, 2022 after being taken off her type-1 diabetes medication so she could be healed by God.

Members of the sect - one of whom said in court they would never seek legal advice as they don't care if they are found guilty - also allegedly prayed while Elizabeth died.

Her father Jason Richard Struhs, 51, and alleged religious group leader Brendan Luke Stevens, 61, have both been charged with murder.

They, along with four other men and eight women, all appeared before the Brisbane Supreme Court on Thursday.

he state's Deputy Director of Public Prosecutions Todd Fuller KC presented their indictments, the Chronicle reported.

The other 12 members of the group, including Elizabeth's mother Kerrie Elizabeth Struhs, 47, are charged with manslaughter.

All 14 have been remanded in custody since they were arrested last July and they all represented themselves in court, having refused legal advice.

Get them in prison and have them dealt with by other prisoners like they deal with child molesters

It is a parent’s right choose or decline medical treatments for their 8-year-old child — even if the State Media says they were part of a non-favored religious group.

When government choose the medical treatment, no one is charged. Fauci killed millions under the color of government, and he is still at it.

This story is from Australia, which has descended into tyranny faster than the US.

How does the state intervene before she’s dead?

“It is a parent’s right choose or decline medical treatments for their 8-year-old child”

It’s the parents’ duty to provide for their child and keep them safe. They killed their child. Maybe they should have considered it was God who had provided the wisdom to make the medicine their child needed.

I see what you are saying but there is a big difference between diabetes meds and a covid vaccine.

I despise these kind of idiots. They give God and believers a bad name

John was a physician. God gave us doctors

Horrible way for this little girl to die

IF your child is disbeyand you don’t allow treatment when they die you should be charged with murder.

I lean your direction in principle

I would draw the line at life saving efforts mandated by medical professionals which is where this ended up

I mean you resist docs removing a gangrene limb or stenting a clogged LAD

life for a diabetic without insulin is rough

A sugars monitor transdermal and an insulin pump can give juvenile diabetics a fairly normal life and expectancy

Life without insulin for a type one diabetic will last about 6 weeks, no more. Insulin is one of the greatest of medical miracles. Without it I would not be here today as my father would have died before he married my mother.

Yes, parents are the deciders for their children, but children are not chattel and you are not entitled to chose to let them die.

You could say the same for Covid vaccines and transgender surgery, where a medical professional mandates it as life saving.
