Night Watch: Erin Patterson’s Poison Mushroom Dinner

It was supposed to be a family lunch, but instead it became one of Australia’s most chilling murder cases. Erin Patterson served her in-laws homemade Beef Wellington, laced with wild deathcap mushrooms she claimed to have foraged herself. Three guests died, and one barely survived. On the day of the deadly meal, Erin lured her husband’s parents and relatives to her home under the guise of sharing a cancer diagnosis…a story prosecutors later revealed was a complete lie. In tonight’s episode, Katie unravels the shocking deceptions and digital trail that ended with Erin’s conviction being one of the harshest sentences ever handed to an Australian woman. Now, Erin is trying to appeal her conviction, and Katie watches what comes next.
