Erin Patterson gives evidence in mushroom murder trial

Accused triple mushroom murderer Erin Patterson has told an Australian court how she tweaked a beef wellington recipe for what turned out to be a deadly meal, adding dried mushrooms because it tasted a little bland. She has conceded some of them may have been foraged but has pleaded not guilty to killing her estranged inlaws Don and Gail Patterson with a meal laced with death cap mushrooms. A third guest, Heather Wilkinson also died after eating the beef wellington. Her husband, became seriously ill but survived. The trial is happening in Morwell in Victoria's Gippsland region. South Gippsland Sentinel-Times journalist Michael Giles has followed the trial and spoke to Lisa Owen.
