'You did it': How doctor realised mushroom cook was a killer
Doctor Chris Webster realized that Erin Patterson was a killer responsible for poisoning several people after they presented with severe symptoms at a rural Victoria hospital. Erin was convicted of murdering her in-laws and attempting to murder others by serving toxic mushrooms hidden in a beef Wellington dish. Webster's suspicions were confirmed when he discovered that the poisoning was caused by mushrooms, leading to the patients' critical condition. Despite Erin's attempt to flee, she was eventually brought back to the hospital for treatment and questioning.
