The Mushroom Murder Trial: Erin Patterson’s True Crimes
The Deadly Beef Wellington: Inside Australia's Mushroom Murder Trial
30 Apr 2025
A deadly lunch. A fake cancer diagnosis. Three deaths and one survivor. The trial of Erin Patterson has begun in Victoria's Supreme Court, and it's already revealing shocking details about that fateful July 2023 day.The 50-year-old Leongatha woman stands accused of serving death cap mushrooms to her former in-laws and their relatives in a beef wellington dish. According to the prosecution, Ms Patterson served herself food on a distinctly different plate than her guests - a small, light-coloured plate compared to the large grey ones provided to the victims. This detail emerged as prosecutors outlined their case against Ms Patterson, who faces three murder charges and one attempted murder charge. She denies all these allegations.Defence counsel Colin Mandy acknowledges his client initially misled police about the mushrooms' source, claiming they came from a supermarket and an Asian grocer. The defence attributes these lies to panic, maintaining the poisonings were a tragic accident with no malicious intent.Whether you're fascinated by true crime, interested in Australia's legal system, or simply captivated by this extraordinary case, our daily coverage provides unprecedented access to the proceedings.
