The Australian woman who cooked and served a lunch that killed three will appear in court today.Â
Erin Patterson faces three murder charges and five attempted murder charges. Â
Her former in-laws Gail and Don Patterson as well as Gail's sister Heather all died from suspected toxic mushroom poisoning in July, and Gail's husband Ian was hospitalised. Â
Three other charges relate to incidents in 2021 and 2022, as police allege a 48-year-old man became ill after meals. Â
Australian correspondent Lesley Yeomans told Tim Dower that Police spent yesterday searching her home. Â
She says they also sent in technology detector dogs, trained to hunt down things like SIM cards, phones, and USB sticks.Â
