An Australian is said to have killed three family members of her husband with a toxic mushroom dish: only one of the victims briefly survived the invitation of Erin Patterson. A deceased person had praised the court of the now accused of the hospital doctor as “wonderfully”, said it before the court.
The wedding of Hobby Cook Patterson was already in Shards when she invited several guests to her house in July 2023. On the guest list there were still real husband Simon Patterson, his parents Don and Gail Patterson and his aunt Heather Wilkinson and her husband, pastor Ian Wilkinson.
The 50-year-old Patterson is accused in three cases and attempted murder in one case. The public prosecutor accuses her of deliberately poisoning her guests. Patterson himself argued innocently in all charges, her lawyer speaks of a “terrible accident”. The case caused a commotion in Australia and international, because only the host had survived lunch without prejudice.
Annus still didn’t come out
Simon Patterson, whose accused has been living separately for some time, rejected the invitation to eat, but the others came. In Patterson, it served them a fillet Wellington, a fillet of beef with mushrooms in puff pastry. After a short time, all four guests showed symptoms of severe food poisoning.
Poisoning victims were “not worried”
The Wilkinson’s suffered diarrhea and vomiting and were treated in the hospital by the doctor Christopher Webster. Both were “with consciousness” and awake when they arrived, Webster reported on the field. “It was clear that they were not doing well, but they were not worried. They could both clearly communicate,” said the doctor. He initially suspected food poisoning of spoiled meat in the Plato Wellington. “I asked Heather how the Filet Wellington tasted and she said it was wonderful,” he said in court.

The next day, a doctor called him from another hospital and told him that the other two guests – in Patterson’s in -things Don and Gail Patterson – there was a suspicion of mushroom poisoning, the doctor added. Ian and Heather Wilkinson were moved to another hospital for acute care. Despite the treatment, three of the four guests were dead a few days later. Only Pastor Wilkinson survived, but he was in the hospital for almost two months.
According to the public prosecutor Nanette Rogers, the treating doctors have diagnosed poisoning by the green turmeric chair for all four guests. 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. The process is expected to take six weeks.
