Erin Patterson, aged over 50, was sentenced to life in prison after she killed three members of her husband's family by serving them a meal with extremely toxic mushrooms. The incident occurred in July 2023 and garnered international attention. Patterson claimed that the poisoning was accidental, but evidence showed that she had previously been suspected of attempted murder against her husband. The judge emphasized the woman's lack of remorse and the severity of her actions, imposing a maximum sentence.
