Unforgivable': Elizabeth Struhs' sister confronts Queensland sect members convicted of killing eight-year-old
Briefly

In a recent court hearing, Jayde Struhs revealed her heartbreak over the death of her sister, Elizabeth, caused by the actions of their religious sect, known as the Saints. The court found fourteen sect members, including Elizabeth's parents, guilty of manslaughter for withdrawing their daughter's insulin, believing God would heal her. Jayde, who fled the sect after being pressured to renounce her sexuality, delivered a powerful victim impact statement, confronting her family members about their role in Elizabeth's tragic death and the long-lasting effects of their beliefs.
Your religious narrative cannot hide the unforgivable and irreversible impact you have made on my family. You took Elizabeth's life. You had no right.
These people only wanted to control my family... eventually pushing my father to his most vulnerable moments, to trust in them so they could play God.
