1 00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:03,640 Speaker 1: Already and this this is the Daily Off. This is 2 00:00:03,680 --> 00:00:15,320 Speaker 1: the Daily ohs oh, now it makes sense. Good morning, 3 00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:17,759 Speaker 1: and welcome to the Daily OS. It's Wednesday, the seventh 4 00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:19,360 Speaker 1: of May. I'm Billy FitzSimons. 5 00:00:19,640 --> 00:00:20,639 Speaker 2: I'm Zara Seidler. 6 00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:24,120 Speaker 1: We are taking a break from our election coverage today 7 00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:27,600 Speaker 1: to update you on another event that you've probably been 8 00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:31,280 Speaker 1: hearing a lot about in the headlines, the mushroom trial. 9 00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:33,960 Speaker 1: In case you missed it, the murder trial of a 10 00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:37,199 Speaker 1: woman accused of killing three people by serving them poisonous 11 00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:41,559 Speaker 1: mushrooms is underway in Victoria's Supreme Court. Aaron Pattison was 12 00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:44,800 Speaker 1: charged with murder after three people died following a meal 13 00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:48,120 Speaker 1: at her home in July twenty twenty three. She pleaded 14 00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:51,000 Speaker 1: not guilty, and so now we are in the middle 15 00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:54,480 Speaker 1: of a six week trial. On today's podcast, we're getting 16 00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:56,680 Speaker 1: you up to speed with the details of the case. 17 00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:04,520 Speaker 3: Billy, I remember when this story first broke a couple 18 00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:08,000 Speaker 3: of years ago, it was absolutely everywhere. I think it 19 00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:11,360 Speaker 3: was just such a unique story and there were so 20 00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:14,760 Speaker 3: many elements that just defied logic really that it was 21 00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:18,120 Speaker 3: all anyone was talking about. But as you said, it 22 00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:21,560 Speaker 3: has been two years since the incident took place. So 23 00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:24,760 Speaker 3: can you just give everyone a really quick recap of 24 00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:25,520 Speaker 3: what happened. 25 00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:28,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, Before I tell you what happened, I'm going to 26 00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:30,720 Speaker 1: take you through kind of who the main characters are 27 00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:33,760 Speaker 1: because there are so many different details in twists and turns, 28 00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:36,399 Speaker 1: so I'll just give you a very brief overview. So, 29 00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:38,680 Speaker 1: the first person, who I think is probably the most 30 00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:41,400 Speaker 1: important person you need to know about to understand this 31 00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:45,559 Speaker 1: is Aaron Pattison. She is fifty, she is a mum 32 00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:49,000 Speaker 1: of two, and she's the person who is accused of 33 00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:52,480 Speaker 1: these murders and who is currently standing trial now. She 34 00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:56,000 Speaker 1: was married to a man named Simon Patterson, and he's 35 00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:58,560 Speaker 1: the father of their two children. They married in two 36 00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:02,800 Speaker 1: thousand and seven split in twenty fifteen, but they never divorced. 37 00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:05,720 Speaker 1: They were just estranged, and they by all accounts, had 38 00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:09,720 Speaker 1: a relatively good relationship. It kind of went downhill in 39 00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:13,000 Speaker 1: late twenty twenty two, which we will talk about, but yeah, 40 00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:17,240 Speaker 1: they pretty much had a quite good relationship. And Simon 41 00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:20,040 Speaker 1: didn't attend the lunch, which is kind of at the 42 00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:22,919 Speaker 1: center of all of these allegations, but it was his 43 00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:27,040 Speaker 1: relatives who did attend the lunch, and three of them 44 00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:31,560 Speaker 1: died and one fell critically ill. He was invited to 45 00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:34,799 Speaker 1: the lunch, but he didn't attend. He actually pulled out 46 00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:37,760 Speaker 1: the night before the lunch because he said that he 47 00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:42,440 Speaker 1: felt uncomfortable attending. Now to speak about the lunch that 48 00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:46,160 Speaker 1: I've referenced many times, so this is where the alleged 49 00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:49,919 Speaker 1: poisoning took place, and it all happened in July twenty 50 00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:54,680 Speaker 1: twenty three. Now Erin invited her estranged husband's parents, so 51 00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:57,959 Speaker 1: her ex in laws. Their names are Don and Gale Patterson, 52 00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:01,840 Speaker 1: and she also invited her ex husband's auntie and uncle, 53 00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:06,560 Speaker 1: whose names are Heather and Ian Wilkinson. Now at this lunch, 54 00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:10,840 Speaker 1: she served them a beef Wellington. Now, following this meal, 55 00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:15,360 Speaker 1: all four guests became critically ill, and Don, Gale and 56 00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:19,040 Speaker 1: Heather died. So those are the two parents of Simon. 57 00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:21,320 Speaker 2: So her ex in laws, her ex in laws. 58 00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:25,520 Speaker 1: They both died, and then the ex husband's auntie also died. 59 00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:30,040 Speaker 1: The uncle was very ill. He spent many weeks in hospital. 60 00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:31,400 Speaker 2: That's Ian, right, that's it. 61 00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:35,000 Speaker 1: He survived, and so he was the sole survivor of 62 00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:40,040 Speaker 1: this lunch. Erin, who was eating at the lunch. She 63 00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:43,560 Speaker 1: did not fall critically ill. I don't think that she 64 00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:48,080 Speaker 1: was sick at all. Now, following their deaths, Erin was 65 00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:51,320 Speaker 1: charged with three counts of murder and one count of 66 00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:52,440 Speaker 1: attempted murder. 67 00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:55,240 Speaker 2: Just quickly before we get into the trial. 68 00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:58,040 Speaker 3: I've read a lot of headlines about this, and one 69 00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:01,720 Speaker 3: of the ones that I haven't really understood is about 70 00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:05,680 Speaker 3: one of the murder charges against Aaron being dropped. Can 71 00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:06,840 Speaker 3: you just talk me through that. 72 00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:10,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, So that did happen, but it was actually in 73 00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:15,040 Speaker 1: relation to something separate. So Aarin was also charged with 74 00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:18,679 Speaker 1: attempted murder of her ex husband, who I've been speaking about, Simon, 75 00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:21,760 Speaker 1: but that was not in relation to this lunch. 76 00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:24,840 Speaker 3: So there was a separate murder charge, not in relation 77 00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:30,200 Speaker 3: to this lunch that police had previously brought against Aaron Patterson, 78 00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:32,240 Speaker 3: but that has been dropped. 79 00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:34,599 Speaker 1: Now that has been dropped. It was dropped at the 80 00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:37,120 Speaker 1: start of the trial. We didn't really find out too 81 00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:38,320 Speaker 1: many details. 82 00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:39,680 Speaker 2: About I always thought it was about the lunch. 83 00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:42,880 Speaker 1: No, okay, Yeah, we didn't really find out too many 84 00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:45,120 Speaker 1: details about why it was dropped. We just know that 85 00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:48,760 Speaker 1: it was dropped. And so now this entire trial just 86 00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:53,000 Speaker 1: centers around this lunch and the alleged murders and attempted 87 00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:54,960 Speaker 1: murder of the four guests. 88 00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:59,240 Speaker 3: Okay, so this trial is focusing on a lunch where 89 00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:03,560 Speaker 3: three people who became critically ill and died and another 90 00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:08,640 Speaker 3: was very unwell but managed to survive. So what have 91 00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:10,960 Speaker 3: we learned during the course of this trial, because it's 92 00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:13,320 Speaker 3: now been a week or so, what have we learned 93 00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:13,680 Speaker 3: so far? 94 00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:17,760 Speaker 1: So mostly what we have learned so far is from 95 00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:22,479 Speaker 1: Erin's estranged husband, Simon. He was the first witness called 96 00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:26,120 Speaker 1: and he told the court that his relationship with Erin 97 00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:30,000 Speaker 1: was amicable following their split in twenty fifteen, but that, 98 00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:32,880 Speaker 1: like I said before, it started to go downhill in 99 00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:37,680 Speaker 1: late twenty twenty two, and that was allegedly over child support. Okay, 100 00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:42,520 Speaker 1: just quickly to recap. Simon was invited to the lunch 101 00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:45,720 Speaker 1: in July twenty twenty three, but he canceled the night 102 00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:49,440 Speaker 1: before via text, and we have seen those text messages 103 00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:52,679 Speaker 1: come out during this trial, and so in the text 104 00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:56,240 Speaker 1: messages shown to the court, Aeron told Simon that she 105 00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:59,400 Speaker 1: wanted to have an important conversation with him and his 106 00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:03,359 Speaker 1: relatives about her health at this lunch. And so she 107 00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:07,599 Speaker 1: said that his cancelation was quote really disappointing, and she 108 00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:10,680 Speaker 1: noted that she had spent many hours and a small 109 00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:13,479 Speaker 1: fortune preparing a special meal. 110 00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:16,920 Speaker 3: So a special meal being a direct quote from what 111 00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:20,120 Speaker 3: she said to Simon in those texts. 112 00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:22,360 Speaker 2: It's so fascinating. 113 00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:25,599 Speaker 3: You mentioned there that she said or it's alleged that 114 00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:27,960 Speaker 3: she said she wanted to talk about her health. 115 00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:30,919 Speaker 2: What was that about? Do we have any more understanding 116 00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:32,320 Speaker 2: about what the health issues were? 117 00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:35,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, so Erin did tell her lunch guests that she 118 00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:41,080 Speaker 1: had been diagnosed with ovarian cancer. That wasn't true, though 119 00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:44,480 Speaker 1: we have since learned and both sides, so defense and 120 00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:48,400 Speaker 1: prosecution agree that she was not diagnosed with that disease. 121 00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:50,600 Speaker 1: So that's not in contention. 122 00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:51,440 Speaker 2: Okay. 123 00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:54,560 Speaker 1: We also know that in March she did do a 124 00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:57,960 Speaker 1: cervical cancer test, but that returned negative. 125 00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:01,720 Speaker 3: Okay, So we underst and that she wanted to talk 126 00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:05,920 Speaker 3: to her ex's family about a health update, and that 127 00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:09,560 Speaker 3: that health update turned out not necessarily to be true. 128 00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:12,960 Speaker 2: What else have we learned from Simon's testimony? 129 00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:15,920 Speaker 1: So we also learned that Simon told the court he 130 00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:19,600 Speaker 1: visited both couples the following morning. He said both were 131 00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:21,160 Speaker 1: not feeling well at all. 132 00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:24,600 Speaker 3: I thought that they had died fairly quickly after and 133 00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:25,760 Speaker 3: that's not what happens. 134 00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:27,880 Speaker 2: There was time between. 135 00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:32,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, And one thing that he mentioned is that his aunt, Heather, 136 00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:35,720 Speaker 1: commented on the plates that Aaron used. 137 00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:37,320 Speaker 2: And a lot of headlines about these plates. 138 00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:40,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, so Heather told Simon that Aaron served herself on 139 00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:44,760 Speaker 1: an orange plate but served her guests their meals on 140 00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:49,000 Speaker 1: these gray plates. Now, when he was cross examined by 141 00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:51,760 Speaker 1: the defense, Simon said that it was fair to assume 142 00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:54,600 Speaker 1: the mismatch could have been due to the fact that Aaron, 143 00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:57,920 Speaker 1: quote had a bunch of ceramic plates that weren't all 144 00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:01,120 Speaker 1: the same. But like you said, the plates have emerged 145 00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:03,560 Speaker 1: as kind of a key piece of evidence that is 146 00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:04,720 Speaker 1: being scrutinized. 147 00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:07,120 Speaker 3: We're going to be back with the rest of today's 148 00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:13,240 Speaker 3: deep Dive after a quick message from our sponsor. Simon 149 00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:16,840 Speaker 3: wasn't at the lunch, so his testimony he's reflecting on 150 00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:20,400 Speaker 3: the conversations he had after the lunch. But you said 151 00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:22,360 Speaker 3: that there was a soul survivor, so there was someone 152 00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:25,680 Speaker 3: at that lunch who can testify. What have we heard 153 00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:26,440 Speaker 3: from Ian? 154 00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:31,800 Speaker 1: Yes, so he only entered the witness box yesterday and 155 00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:35,600 Speaker 1: he started off by kind of describing his relationship with Erin. 156 00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:38,560 Speaker 1: He said that they had a fairly amicable relationship and 157 00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:41,200 Speaker 1: that they were very happy to accept the invitation to 158 00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:45,080 Speaker 1: go to lunch. One thing he mentioned is that Heather, 159 00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:49,079 Speaker 1: his wife, wanted to look at the pantry in Aaron's kitchen. 160 00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:51,600 Speaker 1: He said that she had a particular interest because they 161 00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:54,360 Speaker 1: had just built one in their own home. But he 162 00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:57,920 Speaker 1: said that Erin was really reluctant about this visit to 163 00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:01,320 Speaker 1: the pantry and that she kind of followed Heather In. 164 00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:04,440 Speaker 1: I will just point out these all allegations, so these 165 00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:07,679 Speaker 1: haven't been put to Erin, but this is his recounting 166 00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:09,199 Speaker 1: of what happened. 167 00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:11,880 Speaker 2: Because Aaron hasn't testified yet. No, okay understood. 168 00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:15,319 Speaker 1: He also confirmed what we were talking about before about 169 00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:18,720 Speaker 1: these different plates, so he again said that the four 170 00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:22,480 Speaker 1: guests ate on one style of plate and Erin ate 171 00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:26,400 Speaker 1: on another. He also confirmed that after the lunch, Aaron 172 00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:29,480 Speaker 1: told the guests that she had a life threatening cancer 173 00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:32,720 Speaker 1: and that she was particularly anxious about telling their kids 174 00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:36,520 Speaker 1: about it.

In one message exchange shown to 190 00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:30,040 Speaker 1: the court, Aaron had said, quote, I've been hiding powdered 191 00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:33,880 Speaker 1: mushrooms in everything. So that has been another piece of 192 00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:37,200 Speaker 1: evidence that has emerged in the trial so far. And 193 00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:39,559 Speaker 1: some of the people that were in that true crime 194 00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:42,960 Speaker 1: Facebook group have also been called as witnesses to this trial. 195 00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:46,959 Speaker 3: Okay, so it's a six week trial.
