Three family members are dead after the tasting – including Patterson’s ex-parents-in-law and her ex-aunt-in-law. A fourth person is dependent on a liver transplant and is in mortal danger.
The case drew a lot of attention around the world. Also because her marriage is about to break up. Your estranged husband should actually be there at the mediation lunch. However, he canceled the day before…
According to initial investigations, the guests are said to have eaten death cap mushrooms. After an initial silence, Patterson has now spoken to the police for the first time.
As the TV channel “ABC” reports, she was “extremely stressed and overwhelmed by the death of her relatives. I am devastated to think that these mushrooms have made my loved ones sick.”
She speaks of a “witch hunt” that she hears about in the media. And hopes that what you say will help people understand the background better. “I have absolutely no reason to hurt these people.”
She was first advised not to comment to the police after the deaths. “I now regret that very much, given the nightmare that this process has become.”
She couldn’t explain how her meal became a meal of death. Patterson claims she bought the mushrooms from two different stores. She overcooked a mixture of supermarket “mushrooms” and “dried mushrooms” from an Asian store.
She prepared the Beef Wellington for herself and four older guests. According to her statement, she served the food – and let the guests choose the plate.
She took the last plate and ate the beef dish as well. She had to go to the hospital with severe stomach pain and diarrhea. There she was attached to a saline solution, and she was also given a “liver-protecting drug”.
Contrary to initial reports, Patterson says her children went to the movies before lunch. Later they also ate the leftovers, but scraped off the mushroom crust. Because they don’t like mushrooms.
