Mushroom Dehydrator: manager of a South Gippsland tip tells trial that a food dehydrator was found in an e-waste bin at a transfer station two days after CCTV showed a woman in a red car dropping off an item.
Mushroom Dehydrator Court hears evidence of a manager of a South Gippsland tip who told the mushroom murder trial that a food dehydrator was found in an e-waste bin at the transfer station two days after CCTV showed a woman in a red car dropping off an item.
Prosecutors allege traces of death cap mushrooms were found on the black Sunbeam dehydrator, the same toxin ingested by four guests who ate beef Wellingtons at Ms Patterson's home on July 29, 2023. Ms Patterson made her trip to the landfill hours after being discharged from the Monash Medical Centre.
While Ms Patterson’s defence acknowledges she was at the tip, but disposed of the item due to extreme panic.
At the time, her lunch guests were in the Austin hospital in Melbourne as doctors tried to save their lives. Both Don and Ian had endured liver transplants.
