A mother accused of murdering her two disabled adult children is alleged to have killed her son and daughter for a million-dollar insurance payout.
Maree Mavis Crabtree, 54, forced her then-18-year-old daughter Erin and 26-year-old son Jonathan to take prescription medication which caused an array of health and developmental problems and eventually led to their deaths, Australian police allege.
Erin was found dead in the Maudsland, Queensland, home she shared with her mother in September of 2012. Crabtree was reportedly on a cruise at the time.

Hobart, Australia, Mar 5, 2021 / 03:01 pm (CNA).- The Australian island of Tasmania is expected to become the third Australian state to legalize assisted suicide and euthanasia, after a bill passed the lower house of the state’s parliament Thursday night.
The law would apply to people over 18 with an advanced, incurable, irreversible condition expected to cause death within six months, and patients can opt out of the decision at any time, the Australian Associated Press reported.
In a 16-6 vote March 4, the bill was passed by the House of Assembly. The governing Liberal Party members were given a conscience vote on the bill. All nine members of the opposition Australian Labor Party voted for the bill, as did both members of the Greens, who are crossbenchers.
