Story summary

In December 2022, a teenager pleaded not guilty to murder but admitted to manslaughter in connection with her father's death. The Director of Public Prosecutions for South Australia rejected the plea bargain for a lesser charge and insisted on pressing charges for murder. As a result, a judge-only trial is set to commence that week.

🔮 The inquest was told she had an intellectual disability, limited mobility and minimal verbal communication, and was entitled to $75,000 in NDIS funding but never accessed it. What's next? The inquest, which will focus on NDIS systems, is expected to continue into next week. A woman with an intellectual disability who weighed just 40 kilograms at the time of her death never accessed the $75,000 in National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) support she was entitled to, a coronial inquest has heard.
