‘You inflicted untold suffering’: the Erin Patterson sentence

08 Sep 2025

Description

For the first time ever, the Supreme Court of Victoria allowed a television camera to broadcast a sentencing – the hearing for convicted triple murderer Erin Patterson. Justice Christopher Beale imposed life imprisonment with a non-parole period of 33 years, for murdering three in-laws – and attempting to murder a fourth – by lacing their beef Wellingtons with poisonous death cap mushrooms in 2023. In handing down the sentence, Justice Beale said Patterson’s crimes fell into  “the worst category of offending” and “inflicted untold suffering” on her victims. Today, investigative journalist and author Lucie Morris-Marr on the impact of Erin Patterson’s crimes, and whether her victims will finally have closure.
