The woman was last week found not guilty by reason of insanity on five charges, including murder, assault with a weapon and wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm.
A 67-year-old man was killed and four others injured in a knife attack in the Wellington suburb of Johnsonville last July.
A hearing was held in Wellington today to decide whether her existing name suppression should continue.
The judge reserved his decision.
