The convict Triple-Marder Erin Patterson allegedly tried to poison her husband repeatedly, with cookies that she claimed that her daughter had baked her, he was heard by a court.
The Australian woman was found guilty of killing three relatives last month – and attempted to kill each other – with a toxic mushroom -lace beef Wellington.
The 50 -year -old was originally accused of three cases of murder attempt against her husband Simon Patterson, but the allegations were dropped on the eve of her test.
Description of the allegations – which Patterson denied – was suppressed to protect the proceedings, but can now be made public for the first time.
On 29 July 2023, three people died in the hospital after lunch: Former in -laws of Patterson, Don Patterson, 70, and Gayle Patterson, 70, as well as Gayle’s sister, Heather Wilkinson, 66.
Local pastor Ian Wilkinson – Heather’s husband – recovered after weeks of treatment at the hospital. Mr. Patterson was also invited for lunch, but was taken out at the last minute.
Pre -examination hearing, which are standard before many tests, allow parties and judges to determine whether evidence is acceptable – or allowing a jury to be submitted. In this case, as the allegations related to Mr. Patterson were removed, his evidence on the matter was excluded.
In a long hearing last year, he widened what he doubted that there was a year -long campaign to kill him with tainted food.
The court heard that an poisoning effort left Mr. Patterson so that he spent the week in a coma and his family was asked to say goodbye to him twice.
He told the court that Ms. Patterson had tried to kill her with a curry, a rap, a bottle, and even with chocolate cookies she claimed that her daughter had made her.
He became suspicious, so he started making notes, realizing that he often becomes ill when he fed him, the court heard.
Mr. Patterson shared his suspicion with some relatives – seriously, his father Don Patterson – then included a GP, but did not take things forward.
He said that he felt that he was in danger – and that is why he refused to come in lunch.
When his parents became strict ill, however, Mr. Patterson pulled his relatives into the hospital chapel and told him that he had suspected that his astraged wife had been trying to poison him for years.
Police believe that rat poison can be used on at least one occasion, pre-testing hearing was reported.
