In a recent court appearance in Melbourne, Australia, Erin Patterson, 49, pleaded not guilty to three charges of murder and five charges of attempted murder. The charges stem from an incident where her former parents-in-law and her ex-husband's aunt fell ill and subsequently passed away after consuming a meal at Patterson's home in July.
Patterson, who has been in custody since her arrest in November last year, appeared via video link from prison at the Latrobe Valley Magistrates Court. She is accused of killing her former parents-in-law, Don and Gail Patterson, both 70, and Gail Patterson’s sister, Heather Wilkinson, 66.
