'I loved them' - Police interview Australian mushroom murderer

In a shocking case, Erin Patterson, an Australian woman, has been convicted of murdering three people. Footage of her police interview has been released by the Victorian Supreme Court. During the interview, Patterson admitted to killing her former mother-in-law, her ex-husband, and his new partner, all of whom died after eating poisonous mushrooms she had served them. Patterson claimed she "loved them" and that the deaths were accidental, but the investigation revealed premeditation. The court heard how she had researched the deadly mushrooms and deliberately laced the meal with them. The footage shows Patterson's calm demeanor as she recounts the events, offering little remorse for her actions. The case has sparked public outrage and raises concerns about the justice system's handling of such heinous crimes. The release of the police interview sheds light on the twisted psychology of the convicted murderer, leaving many to grapple with the devastating consequences of her actions.
