Erin Patterson trial live updates: mushroom cook’s murder trial continues in Victoria’s supreme court

Erin Patterson's trial day two highlighted conflicting accounts of events in July 2023. Prosecutors argued that Patterson invited her estranged husband and family to her home to discuss "medical issues," including falsely claiming she had cancer to avoid informing her children about their deaths. Defense attorney Colin Mandy emphasized the tragedy of the incidents, suggesting they were an accident rather than intentional poisoning.
