Well that took a while.
It felt longer than it was because of the way it was covered by the media. On the last season of The Mushroom Killer…
Oh agree. But still two years is a while when the facts where not hotly disputed.
It also feels like a life time ago she was arrested.
What kind of bullshit joke of an organization puts a EULA on a news site?
I’m guessing you loaded the article while connected to a VPN.
I don’t want to be brutal or anything but this is a really horrible way to murder 4 people, and the only fitting punishment is to execute her by mushroom poisoning. Notice the timeline it took the survivor 7 weeks to recover, and those who died it was over a week of hospitalized pain and organ failure.
Also her estranged husband is kind of complicit? He suspected attempted poisoning twice before and declined the lunch? But you don’t warn your parents? That might be hard to live with.
I disagree, but only because I strongly believe that anyone commonly considered deserving of the death penalty shouldn’t get such an easy way out; give them a nice, long life sentence. In her case, feed her just enough mycotoxin to keep her perpetually sick but not kill her. Sometimes cruel and unusual is warranted.
I got a mushroom that’ll kill her
“I’m sick of this shit I want nothing to do with them,” she wrote.
I just don’t get this mentality. Then why bother inviting them to dinner and killing them?
How about not inviting them to dinner, and not talking to them at all?
People are stupid.
I’ve noticed it’s the answer, more often than not.
I’ve recently abandoned the idea that there’s a difference between stupidity and evil also. Our species has shown me too many times that there is no effective, discernable difference in outcome so we should start treating it the same way.
I just watched that Netflix documentary Unknown Number last night.
Although with that one, it could almost entirely be explained that she’s got some crazy fucked up narcissistic personality disorder.
… died after suffering severe gastrointestinal illness that culminated in multiple organ failure
Got damn, what a way to go.
Even more horrifying when you realise it can take days for you to even realise something is seriously wrong. Amatoxins are very very sinister compounds, you initially just get some mild GI upset & recover from it but then a few days later your kidneys and liver fail aruptly (which is apparently horrifically painful).
I believe Ian Wilkinson who survived had to have a liver transplant and all the things that go with that. He survived barely
Erin Patterson, 50, was found guilty in July of murdering three people, including the parents, aunt and uncle of her estranged husband, Simon Patterson, with a beef wellington meal she had deliberately laced with death cap mushrooms picked near her rural home in the state of Victoria in 2023.
Simon Patterson cancelled the night before.
Was found guilty of murdering three people, including four people?
Guilty of 3 counts of murder, 1 count attempted murder.
Alabamian: aunt, wife and mother could be a single person.
Yes, they were killed to death.
The uncle survived.
Too bad she missed her cousin Jordan

I saw a video on this by Ann Reardon a few months ago, it explained what happened well: https://youtu.be/Q_G6y3L0oQI
Killing is bad, mkay?
Very controversial, hot take in 2025. Hope you’re ready to defend your stance.
“Killing is bad… And wrong… There should be a new, stronger word for killing…Badong. Yes, killing is badong! From now on, I shall stand for the opposite of killing! . . .Gnodab!!”

Parole is fucking stupid.
me and many people believed she’d get LWOP. Sucks that she didn’t. She literally killed 3 people, and attempted or planned to kill 2 more, at least.
I agree, but not sure how much it really matters in reality. She is 50 and overweight, she will be up for parole in her theoretical 80s
Lashed with orange penises?
Life w/o parole. Close though :)
