All 14 members of a fringe religious group have been found guilty of the manslaughter of an eight-year-old who died after her insulin was withheld.

During the trial, the Supreme Court of Queensland heard that the sect, known as the Saints, rejected the medical system and the use of medications and put their trust in the healing power of God to cure her of type 1 diabetes.
