#truecrime #australia #mushroomtrial
Mushroom killer Erin Patterson has been given a life sentence for the poisoning of four members of her husband’s family with a spiked meal.
Patterson will spend at least 33 years in prison, with Justice Christopher Beale saying her offending fell into the “worst category”.
The judge said Patterson showed “no pity” in the murders, adding: “Your offending involved an enormous betrayal of trust.
“Your victims were all your relatives by marriage. More than that, they had all been good to you and your children over many years.”
Patterson was found guilty after an 11-week trial of murdering Don and Gail Patterson — the parents of her estranged husband Simon — and his aunt Heather Wilkinson.
She was also convicted of the attempted murder of Ian Wilkinson, Heather’s husband.
Here’s a look back at how the notorious mushroom cook killer case unfolded, including how Erin was finally caught, and what she can expect spending the rest of her days behind bars.
