Ms Djurasovic did not attend court and remains in hospital under police guard.

She was not required to enter a plea. 

Police were called to a house in the suburb of Madeley around 6pm on Friday 25 October and discovered the bodies of the girls inside.

Two and a half hours later, Ms Djurasovic was located at a nearby beach with non-life threatening, self-inflicted injuries and was taken to hospital. 

The case has been adjourned until November 27.
