Erin Patterson’s four alleged attempts to kill husband before mushroom lunch revealed

Simon Patterson declined an invitation to a lunch hosted by his estranged wife, Erin Patterson, due to fears she had been poisoning him, which he suspected after multiple unexplained illnesses linked to her cooking. Prosecutors dropped three attempted murder charges against Erin but revealed evidence of suspected poisoning with toxic compounds, including Barium Carbonate, following the deaths of Patterson’s parents from mushroom poisoning.
