'No emotion at all': Inside the courtroom as Erin Patterson guilty of mushroom murders

View descriptionShare

It’s the case that has had people from all over the world talking. And today, after a 10-week trial, the jury returned a verdict. 

Erin Patterson has been found guilty of triple murder, killing her in-laws, Gail and Don Patterson, and also Gail’s sister Heather Wilkinson. Patterson was also found guilty of the attempted murder of Heather’s husband, Ian Wilkinson.

Ian Wilkinson was the only survivor of the now infamous lunch of beef wellington, which a jury has now decided Patterson deliberately laced with death cap mushrooms. 

One of the reporters who covered the trial for The Age, Erin Pearson, was there for the verdict and reports from outside court in this episode of The Morning Edition.
