Australian police have arrested the host of a luncheon gathering that left three guests dead from suspected mushroom poisoning and a fourth fighting for life
Australian police on Thursday arrested the host of a luncheon gathering that left three guests dead from suspected mushroom poisoning and a fourth fighting for life. Victoria state police executed a search warrant at Erin Patterson’s home at Leongatha where her former husband’s parents, Gail and Don Patterson, both aged 70, Gail Patterson’s sister Heather Wilkinson, 66, and her husband Ian Wilkinson, 68, gathered on July 29 for lunch.
“Today’s arrest is just the next step in what has been a complex and thorough investigation by Homicide Squad detectives and one that is not yet over,” Thomas told reporters. Detectives had previously interviewed the 49-year-old about the fatal lunch but no charges have been laid. She has publicly denied any wrongdoing. Police say the symptoms the four diners had suffered were consistent with poisoning by wild Death Cap Mushrooms. Australian Broadcasting Corp.
