Mushroom Killer Erin Patterson Found Guilty


Mushroom killer Erin Patterson has been found guilty after a trial with sentencing coming later - she had poisoned relatives with beef wellington.

The Australian woman, aged 50, was found guilty of these three counts plus one of attempted murder a few hours ago following a week of jury deliberations. As we revealed last week, Australia’s ABC is making a series titled Toxic about Patterson, which will be created by Elise McCredie ( Jack Irish) and Tony Ayres ( The Survivors). According to BBC News, prosecutors argued Patterson had faked a cancer diagnosis to coax the guests to her house, then poisoned them and subsequently pretended she was ill. She admitted to lying to police and medical staff throughout the trial period.
