Erin Patterson mushroom murder trial LIVE updates: Accused killer’s list of purchases at a service station a day after deadly lunch is revealed to jury

Detective Senior Constable Khuong Tran told the court on Tuesday he obtained CCTV footage from the Caldermeade BP on July 30, 2023 – a day after the lunch.

The CCTV, which was played to the jury, depicted Patterson, wearing a grey cotton jumper, white pants and carrying a handbag, pull up out the front of the service station in her red MG at 3.20pm.

A still image showed Patterson entering a toilet inside the servo for nine seconds before exiting and browsing the store.

Patterson was shown going to the food section and having a look around before grabbing an item.

The jury heard she headed to the drinks section in another aisle before paying for her items and leaving.

The items purchased were a type of sour confectionary, a ham, cheese and tomato sandwich, and a sweet chilli chicken wrap, the court heard.

The edited two minute and 34 second CCTV vision along with 11 stills were exhibited.

The court heard earlier in the trial Patterson told hospital staff she had vomiting and diarhhoea in the days following the lunch.

More key evidence is expected to be aired to the jury on Wednesday.

Telecommunications expert Dr Matthew Sorell (pictured) was put under the pump by lead defence barrister Colin Mandy SC on Tuesday.

Mr Mandy attempted to cast doubt on Dr Sorell’s belief Patterson’s phone was detected in two death cap mushroom Gippsland hotspots at Outtrim and Loch.

Erin Patterson, 50, is accused of murdering her in-laws, Don and Gail Patterson, and Gail’s sister, Heather Wilkinson, after allegedly serving them a beef Wellington lunch with death cap mushrooms.

Patterson is also accused of attempting to murder Heather’s husband, pastor Ian Wilkinson, who survived the lunch after spending several weeks in an intensive care unit.

The court heard Patterson’s estranged husband, Simon, was also invited, but didn’t attend.

Witnesses told the jury Patterson ate her serving from a smaller and differently coloured plate than those of her guests, who ate from four grey plates.

Patterson told authorities she bought dried mushrooms from an unnamed Asian store in the Monash area of Melbourne, but health inspectors could find no evidence of this.

The health department declared the death cap poisoning was ‘isolated’ to Patterson’s deadly lunch.

Multiple witnesses, including Simon Patterson, Ian Wilkinson and other family members, have given emotion-charged evidence to the jury.

Medical staff have told the jury of the painful symptoms the dying lunch guests and Ian Wilkinson suffered.

An expert witness told the court death cap mushrooms were detected in debris taken from a dehydrater Patterson had dumped at a local tip.

Telecommunications expert Dr Matthew Sorell also told the jury Patterson’s phone was detected near areas in Outtrim and Loch where death cap mushrooms had been spotted.

CCTV of a short toilet pitstop at a Gippsland BP service station following the day of the lunch was also shown to the court.
