Erin Patterson Sentenced: Life with 33 Years No Parole

Today, the gavel finally came down in Melbourne. Erin Patterson – the woman at the centre of the infamous Leongatha death cap mushroom lunch – has been sentenced to life, or 33 years after which she can apply for parole

More than two years after serving the fatal beef wellington that killed three and left one fighting for life, justice has been delivered.

In this episode, we break down today’s sentencing, what it means for the mushroom killer and future, and how the families of her victims are responding. 

Erin Patterson, a mother-of-two, will be approximately 82 years old before she can even apply to leave prison.

This is the conclusion to one of Australia’s most haunting true crime cases — and we’re unpacking every detail for you.
