Written by Site Hub on May 4, 2025
Erin Patterson, a 50-year-old woman from Victoria, Australia, is on trial for allegedly serving death cap mushrooms in a homemade beef Wellington, killing three of her estranged husband’s relatives. Prosecutors accuse her of deliberate poisoning and fabricating a cancer diagnosis to lure guests. Patterson denies intent, calling the incident a tragic accident. The high-profile trial, expected to last six weeks, includes sequestered jurors and heated debate over motive, mushroom sourcing, and behavior following the deaths.
