Erin Patterson: The Hospital Meeting That Changed Everything | Mushroom Murders
Description
August 2, 2023. While Erin Patterson was dumping a food dehydrator at the Leongatha tip, her lunch guests lay critically ill in hospital.
Inside the Austin Hospital chapel, Simon Patterson called a family meeting that would alter the course of the entire case. His cousin, Ruth du Bois, remembers the moment he revealed a chilling truth — he believed Erin had deliberately made him sick in the past, and had stopped eating her food.
The next day, Simon shared his medical records with relatives. Four days later, the Wilkinson family went to police, triggering a major investigation into poisons like ricin and hemlock.
They would never work out exactly what had happened to Simon.
