The fact that shook the country: He invited his mother-in-law and father-in-law to dinner, they killed him with poisonous mushrooms
The invitation to lunch for Erin Patterson, who lives in rural Australia, ended in disaster…
Patterson invited ex-wife Simon Patterson, Patterson’s parents Gail and Don Patterson, and Patterson’s sister Heather Wilkinson and Wilkonson’s wife. Simon Patterson, who was invited to dinner, had to cancel his visit at the last minute, and the end of the diners was a disaster.
While some of the family members who dined at Leongatha lost their lives, an investigation has been launched into the incident. Patterson, who invited his relatives to dinner, was detained as a suspect. The 48-year-old woman said that she picked mushrooms from the forest and ate them. However, on examination, it was stated that this mushroom is a very poisonous species of mushroom. During Patterson’s questioning, “The food didn’t affect me. I love my family and I didn’t know these mushrooms are poisonous. I didn’t do anything wrong. His death has destroyed me,” she said.
Heather and Ian Wilkinson… Ian is undergoing treatment in intensive care, while Heather dies a day after eating.
NOTHING HAPPENED TO THE CHILDREN
While it was announced that Simon Patterson was also living with his family after the divorce, it was claimed that the Patterson couple’s two children were seated at the same table, but the children were served another meal.
It was announced that the condition of the four people worsened the day after the meal, while two sisters, aged 70 and 66, passed away, while Don, 70, passed away the next day. Ian, 68, is also reported to be in serious condition and needs a kidney transplant.
Patterson’s former mother-in-law and father-in-law have passed away.
Police officers investigating the incident announced that it has not yet been determined if Patterson ate the same meal. Speaking to reporters, Patterson said: “Gail was like a mother to me because my mother had died four years ago. Gail’s only kindness touched me. Ian and Heather were also some of the nicest people I’ve ever met. She hasn’t done me any harm.
EX WIFE ALSO STAYED IN ICU
