There are so many questions about this including why the dehydrator she cooked the mushrooms in was found in at the tip.

Finally got around to reading about this today, and it couldn’t look any more suss, could it?

 

[repairshoplover]

It’s all so strange… and her ex pulled out at the last minute.

Well doesn't that seem like the ultimate revenge!
That'll teach th ex.
Or maybe it's an insurance scam, the ex was in on.

Ex-husband of woman who cooked lethal mushrooms nearly died last year

Erin Patterson, 48, invited her former in-laws, Gail and Don Patterson, Gail's sister and her husband, Heather and Ian Wilkinson, for lunch at her Leongatha home, in Victoria's Gippsland.

This is odd too.

Thanks for starting a thread! So many unanswered questions!

Thanks for starting a thread! To me it seems for some reason she's tried to get rid of her ex husband by poisoning him. That didn't work so she went for his family? So so strange.

Definitely a Netflix series in the making

Anyone else getting an ad for a mushroom identifier app on this page?!

I'm getting mushroom growing kits

It’s all so odd, I’ve no idea what to make of it. Surely no one is so silly to think they could poison 4 people and then leave yourself fine?

Why make a meal with something you don’t like in it??

Are the Police in Australia even more under-resourced than the UK, they seem a bit slow off the mark.

You’d think the ex-husband would have something to say about his parents and aunt dying.

Maybe the ex is the mastermind behind it all!

 

[Treesy19]

Didn’t think of that. A possibility. Though I’ve also read he was very very poorly with abdominal stuff last year. Did she try it on him last year.

 

[pommobear]

Surely there's no way this wasn't done intentionally?!

 

[LouBug19]

I mean she picked wild mushrooms and then both her kids and herself didn't eat it.. Australian police seem to move slow.

 

[Comewhinewithme]

Big coincidence that the ex husband was so seriously ill, to the point his family where called twice to say goodbye and it was all linked to stomach and gastro.

Glad someone started a thread about it. It’s all so ODD.

Reminds me of an episode of 'Midsomer Murders', 'Destroying Angel' where the victims were all killed by poison mushrooms.
