A court in Australia has found a mother-of-two guilty of murdering three of her estranged husband’s relatives and attempting to murder a fourth after she served them a lunch containing poisonous mushrooms.
A 12-person jury unanimously decided on Monday that Erin Patterson, 50, had deliberately included death cap mushrooms in a beef wellington that she fed her guests at her home in the rural town of Leongatha in the state of Victoria in July 2023.
