A dozen members of a religious group have been arrested after an eight-year-old Queensland girl was allegedly left to die by her parents.
Elizabeth Struhs died in her Toowoomba home on January 7, with police alleging her parents attempted to treat her type one diabetes with a ritual rather than vital insulin.
It's alleged rather than giving the little girl her life-saving medication, her parents Jason, 50 and Kerrie, 46 and up to 20 members of their breakaway Christian church surrounded Elizabeth and chanted prayers and hymns.
Officers made a series of arrests overnight on Monday at a home in Harristown, with 12 members of the church now in custody and expected to be charged with murder.
