Erin Patterson
An appeal against an Australian woman's murder conviction for killing three relatives with a meal laced with toxic mushrooms will be heard in August, a court said on Friday.
A jury in July found Erin Patterson, 51, guilty of murdering three elderly relatives of her estranged husband and attempting to murder a fourth in 2023 in a case that gripped the country and drew global attention for its unusual circumstances.
Patterson was sentenced to life in prison with a non-parole period of 33 years, one of the longest sentences ever given to a woman in Australia.
