Erin Patterson, 50, claimed it was a tragic accident, but a jury believed that she had meant to serve her extended family a poisoned lunch.

Three people died in 2023 after eating beef Wellington made by Erin Patterson, whose subsequent trial gripped the country.

Erin Patterson hosted four of her estranged husband's relatives for lunch in July 2023. Three of them later died of death cap mushroom poisoning. Nearly two years later, a jury has found her guilty.
