Two bereaved parents and 12 fellow members of a fringe Australian religious congregation accused of killing an 8-year-old girl by withholding her diabetes medication were found guilty of manslaughter.

Elizabeth Rose Struhs died on Jan. 7, 2022 at her family's home in Toowoomba in Queensland state after six days without her prescribed insulin shots for type-1 diabetes.

The congregation had prayed and sung for the girl, whose health deteriorated as she lay on a mattress at her home.

Her father, Jason Richard Struhs, 53, and the leader of the family's religious group called "The Saints," Brendan Luke Stevens, 63, had been charged with the more serious crime of murder, but Queensland Supreme Court Justice Martin Burns found both guilty of manslaughter.

Burns also found another 12 members of the congregation, including the victim's mother, Kerrie Elizabeth Struhs, 49, and the victim's bother Zachary Alan Struhs, 22, guilty of manslaughter.

The victim's adult sister, Jayde Struhs, told reporters outside court that she welcomed the verdicts.

Pray the disease away.

This is the direction we're heading in the U.S. now too, sadly.

Christian scientists don't believe in modern medicine. I'm glad they're getting convicted.
