Erin Patterson, 50, was found guilty of murdering three of her estranged husband's relatives by poisoning them with death cap mushrooms in a beef Wellington dish. The nine-week trial captivated Australia, with extensive media coverage analyzing her actions despite a lack of a clear motive presented by the prosecution.

Patterson faces life imprisonment with a potential appeal.
