An Australian woman is found guilty of murdering her in-laws by toxic mushrooms

Erin Patterson pictured outside her home in Leongatha, Australia, in 2023. That summer, four people became seriously ill — and three of them died — after eating a meal she cooked containing death cap mushrooms.

Erin Patterson hosted four of her estranged husband's relatives for lunch in July 2023. Three of them later died of death cap mushroom poisoning. Nearly two years later, a jury has found her guilty.
