Erin Patterson, the woman in Australia who cooked a meal using mushrooms suspected to have caused the deaths of three of her relatives, has given a written statement to police insisting that the fatalities were a tragic accident.
, who has not been charged in connection with the case which has gripped Australia, said she too was hospitalized after eating the beef wellington.
“I really want to repeat that I had absolutely no reason to hurt these people whom I loved,” Patterson wrote. She also contradicted initial police reports that her children were present in the house at the time of the meal but they did not eat the food. Instead, she says the kids had gone to a movie before the lunch took place, and that they did eat the leftovers the following night. Patterson said the children don’t like mushrooms, so she scraped them off the meal before serving the food.
Patterson claims that the mushrooms involved in the dish were a mixture of button mushrooms bought at a well-known supermarket chain and dried mushrooms which she’d bought months before the meal at an Asian grocery store in Melbourne. Although she was unable to identify the specific store in the latter case, health officials sent her images of packs of mushrooms marked by hand-written labels which resembled the packs she had described to them.
