The Australian, who is accused of deliberately poisoning three people, has argued innocently in all charges. Her lawyer spoke about a “terrible accident” in Morwell. For example, the 50-year-old speaks that she ate another colored plate than her guests.
As reported, the hobby chef invited Patterterson in July 2023 different guests at her house, next to her husband and his parents, his aunt and her husband. In the invitation, she announced that she wanted to talk about a health problem with a “special meal”.
Simon Patterson, whose she had been living separately for a while, canceled, but the others came to eat. In Patterson, a fillet Wellington served, a beef fillet with mushrooms in the puff pastry. After a short time, all four guests showed symptoms of severe food poisoning. Only the aunt’s husband survived, he was in the hospital for almost two months.
Looks like edible mushrooms
For all four guests, the treating doctors had diagnosed poisoning by De Groene Knolf Fund. The very poisonous mushroom grows in many parts of Australia and looks like edible mushrooms. However, it contains a strong poison that can lead to liver and kidney failure.
Public Prosecutor Nanette Rogers said on Wednesday that the accused her guests served the poisoned fillet with mashed potatoes and green beans on four large gray plates. But she had eaten from an orange plate. Patterson told her guests with the food she had cancer. In the case of investigations after their arrest, this was not confirmed.
District machine thrown away
The police had seized food in their house, in which traces of green turmeric chairs were detected during a forensic investigation. A few days after the deadly lunch, Patterson also threw away a dehydrator that also contained traces of green turf toad chairs, the public prosecutor said.
Her lawyer Colin Mandy spoke about a “tragedy and a terrible accident”. The 50-year-old is charged in three cases and tried to kill in one case.
