An Australian court on Monday sentenced Erin Patterson to life in prison with a non-parole period of 33 years for poisoning three of her estranged husband's relatives with toxic death cap mushrooms.
Patterson was convicted in July after an 11-week trial of murdering Don and Gail Patterson and Gail’s sister, Heather Wilkinson, with a lunch of beef Wellington pastries laced with foraged poisonous mushrooms.
