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

Jayde Struhs, who escaped Toowoomba group ‘the Saints’ in 2014, delivers victim impact statement as judge considers sentences

The religious sect members who killed Elizabeth Struhs, including her parents, did so in order to “play God”, the eight-year-old’s eldest sister has told the Brisbane supreme court.

Jayde Struhs grew up a member of Toowoomba religious sect “the Saints”, but fled the group, which has been likened to a cult in court, in 2014 after they refused to accept that she was gay and attempted to convince her to renounce her sexuality.
