Overview

• Erin Patterson is accused of murdering three relatives and attempting to murder a fourth by serving a beef Wellington allegedly laced with death cap mushrooms at a July 2023 family lunch.
• Patterson's nine-year-old daughter testified via recorded police interview that her mother ate leftovers from the meal but left her portion unfinished, claiming she felt unwell.
• Medical witnesses testified that Patterson appeared relatively healthy during her hospital visit, despite her claims of severe symptoms following the lunch.
• New testimony revealed that one victim described the beef Wellington as 'delicious' before succumbing to poisoning, while another survivor noted differences in the plates used at the meal.
• The trial continues in the Victorian Supreme Court, with the prosecution arguing intent to harm and the defense maintaining the deaths were a tragic accident.
