  • (This Was Recorded Last Week)

    In the latest twist surrounding the mushroom lunch tragedy, concerns for accused killer Erin Patterson's safety emerge as she is moved into isolation.

    The 49-year-old mother from Leongatha, Victoria, facing three counts of murder and five of attempted murder, has reportedly been relocated to a protected unit away from other inmates due to the perceived risk to her well-being.

    Sources reveal that her alleged crimes have made her a high-profile target within the prison walls. While Ms Erin Patterson awaits trial for the incident that claimed three lives and left one critically ill, authorities assure that she is not suspected of deliberately poisoning her relatives.

    Since her detention at the Dame Phyllis Frost centre in November, Patterson has been confined to a self-contained unit for her safety, potentially granting her access to amenities such as a personal kitchen and recreational activities.

    Meanwhile, a significant development looms as the police brief, meticulously prepared over the past 20 weeks, nears completion and is set to be served to Erin Patterson’s lawyers on Monday.
