Erin Patterson’s three words to her best friend as court staff led her down to the cells after she was found GUILTY of murdering her in-laws
Erin Patterson spoke to her friend Alison Rose Prior and said, ‘See you soon’, after learning her fate.
Patterson was on Monday found guilty of murdering her three in-laws with death cap mushrooms in a beef Wellington that she served them for lunch at her home.
As she was being led back down to the cells by court staff, Patterson made the comment, ‘See you soon’, to her best friend and supporter, Ali Rose Prior.
As Ms Prior left the court thronged by media, a reporter asked her, ‘She said she would see you soon, were you hoping to see her?’
‘I was,’ Ms Prior replied.
The mushroom chef’s closest friend appeared close to tears as she made her way outside escorted by court staff.
‘I’m saddened,’ she said.
‘It is what it is.’
Asked how Patterson felt, she said: ‘I don’t know.’
She then begged media to leave her alone so she could get to her car.
