Erin Patterson loses mushroom murders appeal and is resentenced to life without parole
Victoria's Court of Appeal has dismissed Erin Patterson's appeal against her convictions for murdering three relatives with a beef Wellington lunch laced with death cap mushrooms in 2023, rejecting all seven grounds argued by her lawyers, including claims about jurors staying at the same hotel as police and prosecutors. The judges also upheld a prosecution appeal against her sentence, scrapping the 33-year non-parole period set at her trial and resentencing her to life in prison with no possibility of parole, meaning she is likely to die behind bars. Justices described the offending as extraordinarily cold and calculated and a cruel breach of trust, making Patterson only the second woman in Australia held without parole eligibility. Her remaining option is a High Court challenge, with any application needing to be filed by November 27.
