A deadly lunch. A fake cancer diagnosis. Three deaths and one survivor. The trial of Erin Patterson has begun in Victoria's Supreme Court, and it's already revealing shocking details about that fateful July 2023 day.The 50-year-old Leongatha woman stands accused of serving death cap mushrooms to her former in-laws and their relatives in a beef wellington dish. According to the prosecution, Ms Patterson served herself food on a distinctly different plate than her guests - a small, light-coloured plate compared to the large grey ones provided to the victims. This detail emerged as prosecutors outlined their case against Ms Patterson, who faces three murder charges and one attempted murder charge. She denies all these allegations.Defence counsel Colin Mandy acknowledges his client initially misled police about the mushrooms' source, claiming they came from a supermarket and an Asian grocer. The defence attributes these lies to panic, maintaining the poisonings were a tragic accident with no malicious intent.Whether you're fascinated by true crime, interested in Australia's legal system, or simply captivated by this extraordinary case, our daily coverage provides unprecedented access to the proceedings.

(This Was Recorded Last Week)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. You can find Lisa on Twitter@LisaPodcastsInstagram:@Erin_PodcastPlus you can learn more about this case and send a message through the website, www.ErinPattersonpodcast.com.auAlso please rate and review  The Erin Patterson Podcast.
