After a gripping trial at Morwell’s La Trobe Law Courts, Erin Patterson has been found guilty of intentionally poisoning her lunch guests with a beef Wellington laced with death cap mushrooms.

The fatal 2023 lunch at her Gippsland home claimed the lives of her former in-laws, Don and Gail Patterson, and Gail’s sister, Heather Wilkinson. Ian Wilkinson, Heather’s husband, survived after months in hospital and gave moving evidence at the Supreme Court trial.

Over weeks of forensic testimony, emotional witness accounts and legal argument, the jury returned guilty verdicts on all four charges after six days of deliberations.

This is one of Australia’s most disturbing modern murder cases — and it’s far from over.
