Erin Patterson, the woman charged with killing 3 people with a deadly mushroom-infused beef Wellington, is set to face trial in regional Victoria’s Morwell from 28 April next year. She’s also facing 5 charges of attempted murder (including 4 attempts on the life of her estranged husband…) and has pleaded not guilty to all counts. The fact that the Victorian Supreme Court has ruled that the trial will take place in Morwell is notable – her legal team have been pushing for a trial close to her Leongatha home while the prosecution wanted it to be flicked to Melbourne. A pre-trial hearing of the case started yesterday and will continue today and then across next week. Strict laws in Victoria mean the media is limited to publishing the basic details of what is said in court before a jury is empanelled.
