Erin Patterson, 50, is on trial for the alleged murder of her estranged husbandâs relatives after a lunch where all attendees became ill due to suspected poisoning. Following a meal she prepared, which included beef wellington, Patterson's guests were admitted to the hospital with severe gastro-like symptoms. The trial is focused on the cause of death of three individuals: Don and Gail Patterson and Heather Wilkinson, with one other, Ian Wilkinson, surviving. Defense claims the poisoning was accidental, while prosecutor argues it was deliberate.
"Cindy Munro, a nurse at Leongatha hospital, testified that Erin Patterson seemed emotional and resistant regarding her treatment while at the hospital after the lunch incident."
"The prosecution alleges that Patterson intentionally poisoned her lunch guests with toxic mushrooms, while the defense argues it was an accident."
