The meeting took place on July 29, 2023 at the Erin Patterson house in Leongatha, Wiktoria. Among the guests were the parents of her ex -husband and his aunt with her husband. The former husband of Simon Patterson rejected the invitation. He reported, he gave up because the former partner had tried to poison him three times.
The menu of the tragic dinner included beef, potatoes, asparagus beans and dough. The hostess added greenish toadstools (Amanita phallides) to the dishes.
All four fell ill immediately after lunch. Three died a few days after the meeting. Only the aunt's husband survived. He underwent liver transplant surgery and spent many months in the hospital.
She gave her family dinner with deadly mushrooms. Three people died
During the trial, public opinion learned more details of the case. It turned out that Patterson fabricated the diagnosis of cancer so as not to invite her children to dinner. In this way, she mocked that she wanted to talk to them only after a meal. As the aunt's husband revealed, the guests were given a meal on large gray plates, while Patterson ate its portion on a smaller brown plate.
The judge during the hearing stated that “due to the thorough planning of murders and lack of repentance from Patterson, its judgment should be long,” says Sky News.
Erin Patterson maintains that she is innocent.
