Trial to begin for woman accused of killing 3 with poisonous mushroom lunch

A woman hosted a lavish lunch for her in-laws in regional Australia, but after the event, four guests developed symptoms leading to their deaths. Police have accused the meal of being poisoned with death cap mushrooms, resulting in a murder trial set to begin soon in Morwell, about 95 miles from Melbourne. Erin Patterson, the woman at the center, has pleaded not guilty and expressed devastation over the loss of her family members after the incident. She admitted she was deeply affected by the deaths but denied any prior incidents where she poisoned others, with one charge relating to an uncle who survived the illness.
