Erin Patterson may have visited locations with dying cap mushroom sightings, murder process hearing | Victoria

An analysis by Erin Patterson's cell phone records showed that she may have visited two locations shortly after the sightings for the mushroom mushroom mushrooms were reported by Death Cap.

The 50-year-old Patterson has not guilty, three charges for murder and an indictment of attempted murder in terms of lunch, which she served in her house in Leongatha, Victoria, about 135 km southeast of Melbourne.

She is accused of murdering her alienated husband Simon's parents, Don and Gail Patterson, and his aunt Heather Wilkinson. She is also accused of murdering Ian Wilkinson, Simons uncle and Heather's husband.

The Victorian Supreme Court, who sits in Morwell, previously heard that the guests died after they were poisoned with fatalities. The public prosecutor claims that Patterson has deliberately poisoned her lunch guests with “murderous intentions”, but her lawyers say that poisoning was random.

In the opening of the public prosecutor in the case of the case, Nanette Rogers SC from Patterson's telephone documents said that she visited Loch and Outtrim in the months before lunch.

The Court previously heard that two places on the “Citizen Science” website Income on the sights of death look mushrooms were carried out at these locations in 2023.

On Monday, Dr. Matthew Sorell, an expert for digital forensics, which Patterson's cell phone records analyzed for the police, in her process.

His analysis was based on a timeline when Patterson's phone was connected to base stations in the region and how long they remained connected to these base stations or base stations within the same area, which indicates that the phone had remained relatively stationary for a certain period of time.

He said that the records made available to him from 2019 to August 2023 show that Patterson visited and stayed in Outtrim on May 22, 2023 between 11:24 a.m. and 11.49 a.m.

The mushroom expert Dr. Last week, Thomas May informed the court that he uploaded a contribution to the Innoterist on May 21, 2023, in which the fungi was identified in Outtrim, including photos and specific coordinates, which were explained that it was found in the Neilson Street.

Sorell agreed that the Neilson Street was in the area specified in its analysis.

He also agreed that due to his analysis there was “potential” that the phone was stationary for about 45 minutes on the morning of April 28, 2023 and agreed with a visit to Loch.

He said that a similar visit was possible on the morning of May 22, 2023, although there was found for some of this morning that there were no records.

The court used to hear on Christine McKenzie, a retired pharmacist and former poisoning information specialist in the Victorian Gitis information center on Monday, who discovered the fatalities for deaths on April 18, 2023 in Loch on April 18, 2023.

She was walking around with her grandson and dog in the local oval when she discovered her under oak trees and carefully pulled out two mushrooms to take pictures for the inasalist before seeing as many as she could see with a dog poo bag.

She did this because she knew that the area was regularly visited by dog ​​hikers and a local kindergarten.

“They were also concerned because nobody confused the species with an edible mushroom type and accidentally feeds,” asked Christine Stafford, a lawyer from Patterson.

“That's right,” replied McKenzie.

McKenzie posted the incorrect by 1 p.m. this afternoon at 1 p.m. with her user name Chrismck.

The process before Justice Christopher Beale continues.
