Erin Patterson says she got sick after eating

Australian woman judging the murder says she threw the toxic mushrooms that killed her relatives after a dessert to eat a ring.

Erin Patterson admitted that he was not guilty of four accusations – three for murder and one of the attempted murder – over the lunch of Beef Wellington at your regional Victorian house in July 2023.

Prosecutors claim that D -Ja Patterson deliberately served mushrooms of toxic death hats, but only to its guests. Her defense team says that contaminated food was a tragic disaster and claims that it was also ill and their client.

On her third day of testimony, Mrs. Patterson told the court that she had eaten only a small part of lunch and later consumed two-thirds of the cake before vomiting.

Patterson also admitted that she lied to the diagnosis of cancer – which prosecutors say she used guests to her house – as she was too embarrassed to tell them that she was actually planning to undergo surgery for weight loss.

Three people were killed in a hospital in the days after eating, including former laws of Mrs. Patterson, 70. Don Patterson and Gail Patterson, 70, as well as Gail’s sister, Heather Wilkinson, 66.

A guest from noon survived, local pastor Ian Wilkinson, after weeks of hospital treatment.

The Victorian Supreme Court’s trial – which began almost six weeks ago – has been heard from more than 50 witnesses and attracted great global attention.

At the Morwell Court of Justice, Patterson gave detailed information about the fatal lunch, saying she had invited her guests under the preference that she wanted to talk about health problems.

The 14-member jury heard that Mrs. Patterson went through a “quite a long process of trying to decide what to cook” for lunch before choosing to make Beef Wellington.

The dish – usually made with a long strip of steak fillet wrapped in sweets and mushrooms – was something that D -Ja Patterson’s mother did when she was a child to score special occasions, she said.

In the morning of lunch, Mrs. Patterson told a garlic frying, a scarf and a few supermarket trays of mushrooms that were finely chopped into a food combine.

“I prepared this for a very long time,” she said. “You have to remove almost all the water,” she added, so the mushrooms won’t make the pastry.

“As I cooked it, I tasted it several times and it seemed a little gently,” she said.

At that moment, she decided to add a few dried mushrooms she had bought from Asian grocer in Melbourne a few months earlier and stored in a container in her closet.

Asked if this container might have had other types of mushrooms in it, d -Patterson, as he suffocated, said, “Now I think there are forage.”

Yesterday, the court listened that Mrs. Patterson had begun to feed on mushrooms in places close to her home in Lengta in 2020, and her long-standing love for mushrooms expanded to turn on wild mushrooms as they had “more taste”.

D -Ja Patterson told the court that she had served the food and instructed her guests to catch a plate on his own until she was finished with sauce.

There were no places or plates appointed, she told the test.

Previously, G -n Wilkinson told the test that the guests had received gray plates while D -Ja Patterson eaten orange.

Under the interrogation of the defender Colin Mandy, D -Ja Patterson said there are no gray plates, instead lists black plates, white plates and one that is red on top and black below.

During lunch, Patterson said she didn’t eat much of her food – “One quarter, third, somewhere around” – because she was busy talking.

After the guests left, she cleaned the kitchen and ate a slice of orange cake that Gail had brought and then another piece and another piece before finishing the rest of the cake.

“I felt sick … too full, so I went to the toilets and returned it again,” she said.

“After I did this, I felt better.”

Yesterday, the court heard that G -jja Patterson had been fighting bulimia for her teenage years and was inclined to eat regular eating and vomiting after eating.
