SYDNEY: The lone surviving guest of a lunch where three others died after being served food laced with deadly mushrooms told an Australian court on Monday the actions of host and convicted murderer Erin Patterson had left him feeling “half alive.” Patterson was found guilty last month of luring her mother-in-law Gail Patterson, father-in-law Donald Patterson and Gail’s sister, Heather Wilkinson, to lunch at her home and poisoning them with individual portions of Beef Wellington that contained toxic death cap mushrooms.

A pastor who survived a deadly mushroom lunch with killer Erin Patterson has opened up about life without his wife, who died from the meal.

Family members of the three people Erin Patterson murdered with toxic mushrooms have confronted her in court.
