Triple Murder Trial: Accused Claims Illness After Deadly Beef Wellington Lunch

A triple murder trial is underway in Australia, focusing on Erin Patterson and a fatal beef Wellington lunch. Patterson claims she too suffered illness from the meal, attributing it to a binge-eating incident. However, her account is contrasted by phone records indicating potential visits to areas known for death cap mushrooms. Despite this, Patterson maintains her innocence, pleading not guilty to all charges. The trial continues, with intense public interest surrounding the case. "She insists she, too, fell ill from the beef Wellington meal," reports Samantha Butler, a 10 News First journalist. The case highlights the dangers of consuming wild mushrooms and the complexities of legal proceedings in high-profile cases.
