Erin Patterson, an Australian woman accused of murdering three of her estranged husband's elderly relatives by poisoning their food, used four large identical grey plates for her guests but a smaller, tan coloured one for herself, prosecutors claimed on Wednesday.
On 29 July 2023, Ms Patterson, 50, hosted a lunch at her home in Leongatha, a small rural town in Victoria about 136km (85 miles) southeast of Melbourne. She invited her former in-laws, Donald and Gail Patterson, both 70, along with Gail’s sister Heather Wilkinson, 66, and Heather’s husband, Ian Wilkinson, 68.
