# An Australian woman, who murdered three of her in-laws by feeding them a beef wellington laced with deadly mushrooms, also allegedly tried to poison her estranged husband. Patterson’s estranged husband, Simon Patterson, told a pretrial hearing in October 2024 that he suspected she fed him poisoned food on several occasions. The evidence was never released publicly due to a gag order which was lifted on Friday. A sentencing hearing is due to begin on 25 August. Patterson faces a potential life sentence for each of the murders and 25 years for attempted murder.
