Today Caroline and Wayne have the evidence from day three of Erin Patterson in the witness box giving evidence in her defence. She admitted that she dumped the food dehydrator after her husband Simon asked her if she’d used it to poison his parents. She said she panicked about what he was accusing her of and that her children might be taken away. She also admitted she lied about having cancer treatment because she was too ashamed to say she was really having gastric band surgery. And she says she feared that death cap mushrooms may have accidentally got mixed up with shop bought ones and then added to the beef wellingtons to add flavour.

In this episode we have, for the first time, the words of Erin Patterson. In her first police interview in the days after the lunch she lied by saying she didn’t own a food dehydrator when she had dumped it at the tip hours before. She also said she loved her in-laws because they were the only family she had left. We also heard evidence that she was left alone with her mobile phone during the police search at her home, and at around the same time, the data was wiped from it.
