Erin Patterson has been convicted by a court in Australia for murdering three elderly relatives of her estranged husband with a lunch laced with poisonous mushrooms, concluding one of the biggest criminal trials in the country.
Patterson, 50, gave her estranged husband’s parents and his aunt and uncle beef wellington at her home in July 2023. The next day all four guests were hospitalised with symptoms of death cap mushroom poisoning, and later three of them died.
