In this gripping 2024 episode, we revisit the shocking mushroom poisoning case that rocked Leongatha. 

On November 2, 2023, police revealed the charges against Erin Patterson, the mum-of-two accused of serving a deadly Beef Wellington pie at a family lunch. Patterson now faces three counts of murder and five counts of attempted murder after the tragic events involving mushroom poisoning. 

Listen to the full police media statement from the day of her arrest and hear how Patterson maintains her innocence, insisting she did not intentionally poison her guests. Tune in for an in-depth look at one of Victoria’s most infamous cases.

In the latest twist surrounding the mushroom lunch tragedy, concerns for accused killer Erin Patterson's safety emerge as she is moved into isolation. 

The 49-year-old mother from Leongatha, Victoria, facing three counts of murder and five of attempted murder, has reportedly been relocated to a protected unit away from other inmates due to the perceived risk to her well-being. 

Sources reveal that her alleged crimes have made her a high-profile target within the prison walls. While Ms Erin Patterson awaits trial for the incident that claimed three lives and left one critically ill, authorities assure that she is not suspected of deliberately poisoning her relatives. 

Since her detention at the Dame Phyllis Frost centre in November, Patterson has been confined to a self-contained unit for her safety, potentially granting her access to amenities such as a personal kitchen and recreational activities. 

Meanwhile, a significant development looms as the police brief, meticulously prepared over the past 20 weeks, nears completion and is set to be served to Erin Patterson’s lawyers on Monday.
