A perpetrator of triple homicide in Australia, known as the ‘mushroom murderer’, has been sentenced to a lifetime in prison, with a non-parole period of 33 years.

An Australian judge on Monday sentenced Erin Patterson, aged 50, to life in prison with the possibility of parole after 33 years for murdering three individuals by serving them a meal laced with toxic mushrooms during a 2023 family lunch. This verdict, finalized in July, captured widespread public attention and concern.
