When Erin Patterson was found guilty of murdering three family members with a mushroom-laced beef Wellington, the story gripped not just Australia but the world. It was a case of family, food, betrayal - and a courtroom drama that has only grown more extraordinary. 

Ciara Doherty admits she was hooked from the very beginning, and in our original podcast listen back here, she explained why she couldn’t look away. Today, she returns to the case with Irish journalist Aisling Moloney, reporting from Australia, to unpack the stunning new details that have finally come to light. 

From allegations that Patterson tried to poison her estranged husband with pasta, curry and even cookies, to the devastating victim impact statements at this week’s pre-sentencing hearing at the Victoria Supreme Court, Ciara and Aisling take listeners through the chilling twists the jury never heard, the extraordinary public reaction, and what happens next when Patterson returns to court for sentencing.
