Erin Patterson plea hearing: Deadly mushroom lunch survivor says he feels ‘half alive’ without late wife

Ian Wilkinson, the sole survivor of a fatal mushroom lunch, told a Melbourne court on Monday that he felt “only half alive” after losing his wife Heather and two of his closest friends.

Fighting back tears, he said: “It’s one of the distressing shortcomings of our society that so much attention is showered on those who do evil and so little on those who do good.”
