A woman in a trial for killing in Poison Mushoom says she was trying to fix a “nice” meal

Australian woman Accused In the dish that killed three of its four guests, who ate on Wednesday from the accident and detailed how it planned for the meal.

The general prosecutors say in the case of the Supreme Court in Victoria Irene Patterson50, her guests attracted lunch in July 2023 with a lie about cancer, before they intentionally feed them toxic fungi. But its lawyers say that the polluted beef Wellington, which Patterson served was a tragic accident due to the mushroom storage accident.

Patterson denies the killing of her father, her separate husband, without the generation of Patterson, and their relatives, Heather Wilkenson. The mother of two also denied the attempt to kill Heather’s husband, Ian Wilkenson, who survived the meal. If convicted, Patterson faces life imprisonment for murder and 25 years to try to kill.

In a rare move by the defendant accused of death, Patterson chose to speak in her defense in her trial this week.

On Wednesday, she publicly spoke publicly about the fateful lunch and presented her explanations on how she planned the meal and did not get sick.

Add more mushrooms to a “nice” meal

Nobody opposes that Patterson served the death of the death of death for its guests for lunch in the rural town of Lyongatha, but she says she did so without knowledge.

Patterson said on Wednesday that she boasted about expensive ingredients and searched for ideas to find a “special thing” for the service. She deviated from her chosen recipe to improve the “gentle” flavor.

She told the court that her dried fantasties purchased from an Asian supermarket from a container in its store.

“Now I think there is a possibility of being in each other,” she told her lawyer, Colin Mandy. She told the court on Tuesday, and she had put some of her in her store before the deaths.

The defendant says she “should not lie” about cancer

Patterson, who officially separated from her husband Simon Patterson in 2015, said she was “harm” when Simon told her the night before lunch that he was “not comfortable.”

She had told his relatives earlier that she had arranged the meal to discuss her health. Patterson admitted this week that she had never had cancer-but after a healthy intimidation, her foals told her.

In fact, Patterson said it intends to have a weight loss surgery. She said she was very embarrassing to tell anyone and planned to pretend to be melted that she was undergoing cancer instead.

“I was ashamed of the fact that I did not control my body or what I ate,” Patterson said on Wednesday. “I didn’t want to tell anyone, but I shouldn’t lie to them.”

Patterson says she gave her a mushroom meal for her

The defendant said that she believed that she had spared the worst antiquities on the poisoned meal because she self -vomiting shortly after leaving lunch guests. She had responded to most of the cake and then made herself throw – a problem she said she had struggled for decades.

Patterson also said she believed that she had ate enough meal to cause her diarrhea. Then she sought hospital treatment, but unlike her guests at lunch, she recovered quickly.

She said that her separate husband asked her in the hospital, as her guests were deteriorating, and her separate husband asked her about the drought, which she used to dry the emotional mushroom.

“Is this how my father poisoned?” She said that Simon Patterson asked her.

From the growing growth of blaming the poisoning and that her children will take from her, Patterson said she later got rid of her dryer. The investigators told that she had never had one and had never wandered in mushrooms.

While she was still in the hospital, she insisted that she bought all the mushrooms in stores, although she said she knew that the veil mushroom could have found her way accidentally to the meal.

Patterson said she was very afraid to tell anyone.

Later, Patterson said she had wiped her remote mobile phone while she was sitting in a wardrobe to remove mushroom photos that she was abandoning.

Prosecutors have argued at the opening of their case in April that she intentionally allowed her husband’s family, although they did not motivate. They said she was carefully poisoning herself and forgery of patients.

The trial will continue on Thursday with Patterson interrogated by the prosecutors.
