A judge in the Victoria Supreme Court has lifted a suppression order, allowing previously excluded evidence to be made public in the high-profile case of Erin Patterson, the 50-year-old Victorian found guilty last month of murdering three of her in-laws with a Beef Wellington laced with death-cap mushrooms and of the attempted murder of a fourth relative. The newly released material alleges that Patterson also tried on three occasions between November 2021 and September 2022 to kill her estranged husband, Simon Patterson, by serving him penne bolognese, chicken korma curry and a vegetable wrap that prosecutors say were poisoned. Simon Patterson, who kept a spreadsheet of his illnesses after eating the meals, testified in a pre-trial hearing that he once became so sick he was temporarily paralysed and required bowel surgery. The prosecution had initially charged Erin Patterson with five counts of attempted murder—including four relating to her husband—but those counts were severed and ultimately dropped ahead of her main trial, meaning the jury never heard the allegations. Justice Christopher Beale ruled on Friday that their disclosure would not prejudice ongoing proceedings, rejecting a defence bid to keep the material sealed while Patterson pursues an appeal. Patterson faces a potential life sentence for each of the three murders and up to 25 years for the attempted murder of survivor Ian Wilkinson. A two-day plea and sentencing hearing is scheduled to begin on 25 August, after which she will have 28 days to lodge an appeal against her convictions or sentence.
