Overview
- Magistrate Kieran Gilligan ordered the arrest of Shania Lee after she failed to appear at Melbourne Magistrates' Court on Thursday.
- Her bail was forfeited following the hearing, with the matter adjourned to a date to be fixed.
- Lee had been bailed to live in Moama with conditions to report to Echuca police three times a week and to notify authorities of any change of address.
- She faces two counts of negligent manslaughter and one count of negligently causing serious injury over the September 2024 fire that killed daughters Izabel, 5, and Lyvia, 1, while her three-year-old son survived.
- Investigators previously alleged she and partner Matthew McAuliffe left the home shortly before the smoke alarm and did not seek help; his case was withdrawn after his death in November.
