The Sentinel

May 01, 2025

THE Australian host of a weekend family lunch has gone on trial charged with murdering her estranged husband's parents and an aunt and attempting to murder an uncle with poisonous mushrooms.

Prosecutor Nanette Rogers opened her case on Wednesday against Erin Patterson, 50, in the Victoria state Supreme Court. Patterson has pleaded not guilty to all charges.

She served meals of beef Wellington, mashed potato and green beans at her home in the rural town of Leongartha on July 29, 2023, Ms Rogers said.
