Accused details family rift at mushroom murder trial
The Independent
|June 03, 2025
The Australian woman accused of murdering three relatives with a poisoned beef wellington took the stand yesterday to give evidence about her fractured relationship with her estranged husband and his family.
Erin Patterson, 50, is charged with deliberately serving death cap mushrooms to her former in-laws, Don and Gail Patterson, Gail’s sister Heather Wilkinson and Heather’s husband Ian during a 2023 lunch at her house in the township of Leongatha in Victoria. Ian Wilkinson was the only guest to survive.
She spoke of a rift with her separated husband and his family. “A bit more distance or space between us,” Ms Patterson said.
