Latest twist in the ongoing poison mushroom saga.

It would seem that the ex husband of the cook has raised suspicions re himself having been ‘seriously affected’ after eating food on an earlier occasion.

He had been in intensive care and only pulled out of joining the others in what would may well have been his last meal too at the very last moment.

Still not known if it was mushrooms that caused the deaths

It seems most women murders use poison as their weapon of choice. I bet her ring’s twitching now.

The woman at the centre of this case has appeared in court charged with murder

The jury has reached a verdict in Erin Patterson’s murder trial, finding her guilty of three counts of murder and one count of attempted murder.

Patterson had pleaded not guilty to murdering three relatives and attempting to murder another by serving them beef Wellingtons containing death cap mushrooms during a lunch at her home at Leongatha in regional Victoria in July 2023.
