June 4 (UPI) -- Erin Patterson testified Tuesday that she vomited up the deadly mushroom lunch that she served to family members in Australia.
Patterson testified that she had only eaten a small portion of the beef Wellington lunch she served the victims because she was deep in conversation, but later consumed a great deal of orange cake, which led to her regurgitation. She said that her throwing up expelled the poisonous food.
"[I ate] another piece of cake, and then another piece," said Patterson, "I felt sick... over-full so I went to the toilets and brought it back up again."
Patterson previously testified Tuesday that she had a habit of purging after binging that started in her 20s.
