Sydney - An Australian woman accused of murdering her father and sister was apparently denied psychiatric treatment because of her parents' Scientology beliefs, a court heard on Monday.

The 25-year-old woman, who cannot be named, appeared briefly in court on Monday to be charged for the stabbing attacks at her family home in a Sydney suburb, the Australian Associated Press reported.

She made no application for bail because she was unfit to be interviewed, her lawyer Wade Bloomfield told the court.

Consultant psychiatrist Mark Cross said in a report that the woman was diagnosed with a psychotic illness at Bankstown Hospital in late 2006, the court heard.


"She had a history of being diagnosed with a psychotic illness in late 2006 at Bankstown Hospital, but follow-up from the mental health team was apparently declined by her parents because of their alleged Scientology beliefs," Cross said.

The woman is accused of fatally stabbing her 53-year-old father and 15-year-old sister and wounding her 52-year-old mother, who raised the alarm as she collapsed in a neighbour's garden.


Hahaha, ahh. All I can think of is the giant "Psychiatry Kills!" sign they used to have in LA.

Saw that on Fark this morning.

It's too bad she never received any help when it might have done some good (small chance, but a chance). It's almost a Greek comedy in its fitting end, though.

Er, no pun intended about the "Greek" and "fitting end" thing.

Was that the one with the image of John Travolta and Tom Cruise with their arms around each other?

But! But. . . . They were Scientologists!

Here in England it's a legal requirement to point and shout "Whacko!"

I don't think its wrong to laugh at other people's pain at all. I think other people's pain is the essence of all humor. Nothing that doesn't involve someone's pain (yeah, it can be your own too) is even remotely funny.

Two wind turbines, chilling out in a wind farm, are chatting to each other. The first one says: "So, what do you think about all this natural energy business?" To which the other replies: "Well, you know me, I'm a big fan!"

Ba-dam!

Two fish in a tank. One says to the other: "How the fUck do you drive this thing?!"

Ba-da-bam!
