The estranged husband of an Australian woman accused of murdering three of his elderly relatives with a meal laced with deadly mushrooms told a court on Thursday he declined the lunch invitation because he felt “too uncomfortable” attending.
While giving evidence in court, Simon Patterson told chief prosecutor Nanette Rogers that he was invited along with his parents and his aunt and uncle to the 29 July 2023 lunch at Erin Patterson’s home, when the murders are alleged to have taken place, following a service at the Korumburra Baptist Church.
