An Australian woman suspected of poisoning her former in-laws and others with deadly mushrooms at a lunch she served has been charged with multiple counts of murder and attempted murder.
Three people died after Erin Patterson, 49, served beef Wellington, a dish that includes mushrooms, to guests in July. …
Ms Patterson has also been charged with three counts of attempted murder linked to what police said were three separate incidents where it is alleged a 48-year-old man became ill following meals between 2021 and 2022. No further details have been given.
Ms Patterson was named as a suspect by police after she and her two children appeared unharmed after the lunch.
[Yikes. This apparently will go even farther; the BBC reports that they’re using specially trained dogs to find hidden SIM and memory cards to further track her actions. — Ed]
