Videos From Mushroom Murder Trial Released

REGIONAL VICTORIA, AUSTRALIA, AUG 4 – Videos reveal Erin Patterson disposing of a food dehydrator used in poisoning and handing a dummy phone to police during the murder investigation, key evidence in her conviction.

  • In Morwell, a jury found Erin Patterson guilty on July 7, 2025, of two murders and one attempted murder for poisoning relatives at her Leongatha home on July 29, 2023.
  • An eagle-eyed policewoman uncovered her tip trip via banking records days after July 29, 2023, revealing Patterson handed officers a `dummy phone` during a raid and CCTV showing her dumping a dehydrator at Koonwarra Transfer Station on August 2, 2023.
  • On Monday, the footage was released showing Patterson calmly questioned at the Leongatha home dining table, handing over a suspected dummy phone.
  • Amid sentencing preparations, she will have 28 days to appeal after Patterson faces a brief court hearing on Friday to set her pre-sentence hearing later this year.
  • Officers retrieved cell tower data placing her primary phone near mushroom sites, despite Patterson denying hiding Phone A and providing a factory-reset device.
