Erin Patterson: The Mushroom Murderer
Former Australian police detective Duncan McNab shares his insights on Erin Patterson, who poisoned her family members with death-cap mushrooms in a Beef Wellington.
I've met some killers in my time, and some of them just view other people as an inconvenience, a trouble to be removed.
McNab believes Patterson never expected anyone to survive the deadly lunch, particularly Ian Wilkinson. He notes that Patterson had planned the case in detail but didn't plan on being caught.
The case has garnered significant public interest, reminiscent of notorious serial killers in the Pacific Northwest in the 1970s.
