The woman publicly denied serving up the highly toxic death cap mushroom
An Australian woman has been arrested over the suspected deaths of three people after allegedly poisoning three people with mushrooms. The trio fell ill after attending a family lunch in July in the Victorian town of Leongatha. A fourth person was taken to hospital in a critical condition. Erin Patterson, 49, strongly maintained her innocence after she was taken into custody on Thursday but she has not been charged.
In a September statement, Ian Wilkinson's loved ones said: 'This milestone marks a moment of immense relief and gratitude for Ian and the entire Wilkinson family.' Ms Patterson said she herself was taken into hospital after the meal due to stomach pains, and was put on a saline drip and given medication to guard against liver damage.
