Erin Pattersona woman 50 years old, the life imprisonment was sentenced after being considered guilty for the murder of three people. The crime occurred during a lunch in Leongatha, where she served toxic mushrooms. The case quickly became one of the country’s most commented, involving more than 50 witnesses and revealing pre-existing tensions with his ex-husband. The prosecution says that about two years ago Patterson prepared a lunch that resulted in the deaths of his former husband’s parents and their sister. After a week of the event, the three victims had symptoms indicating poisoning by mushrooms known as “Death Cap”. Ian Wilkinson, one of the guests who survived, was one of the main witnesses against her.

In her defense, she claimed that the deaths were a tragic accident, but this justification did not convince the jury. The trial attracted significant attention from the media, with various podcasts and reports exploring the details of the case. The public interest around the case was intense, reflecting the severity of the accusations and the shocking nature of the crime.
