After the fateful meal, in addition to the in-laws, the wife of the local pastor who was a lunch guest died.
The trial of a woman suspected of murders with poisonous mushrooms has begun in Australia. A 49-year-old woman is accused of killing her parents-in-law and a third person with a poisonous mushroom lunch. In addition, she is suspected of trying to kill her husband with poisoned food.
After the fateful meal, in addition to the in-laws, the wife of the local pastor who was a lunch guest died.
According to the police, the husband, who is now separated from the suspect, fell ill four times after meals.
The man has accused the wife of trying to murder him in this way. The woman who received the charges has been living in the small town of Leongatha in the south-eastern part of Australia, about two hours’ drive south-east of Melbourne.
The trial, which began on Friday, will continue in May 2024. The break is due to the police examining the computers seized from the woman’s house.
