The Doctor Who Exposed the Mushroom Murderer: A Shocking Revelation

A rural Australian doctor recounts his experience realizing that Erin Patterson, the woman who served toxic mushrooms to her family, was a murderer.


Dr. Chris Webster's quick diagnosis and swift actions at Leongatha Hospital led to the uncovering of Erin Patterson's heinous crime against her family and the subsequent legal proceedings that followed.


Dr. Chris Webster recalls the moment he recognized Erin Patterson as a cold-blooded killer upon her arrival at Leongatha Hospital in rural Victoria. Just minutes after treating patients who had consumed a deadly mushroom-laden dish at Erin's home in July 2023, Dr. Webster confirmed his suspicions that Erin had poisoned her in-laws and their relatives, leading to her conviction for their murders. Initially, the doctor believed he was witnessing a case of mass food poisoning, with Heather and Ian Wilkinson exhibiting severe symptoms.

When Heather recalled the delicious beef Wellington that Erin had prepared, Dr. Webster collected blood samples but soon received alarming news from a colleague about the true culprit—deadly mushrooms. As Erin arrived, claiming she feared gastroenteritis, a single word from her changed everything: "Woolworths," she stated, asserting that the mushrooms came from a supermarket. Dr. Webster found her answer implausible and noted her lack of concern for the stricken relatives.

His growing suspicions prompted a call to the police for a wellness check after Erin discharged herself against medical advice. When Erin returned voluntarily, Dr. Webster urged her to bring in her children who may have consumed the leftovers. Despite Erin’s claims of feeling overwhelmed, the gravity of the situation ultimately led to her trial.

Following the jury's guilty verdict, Dr. Webster felt the relief of having contributed to the justice process against Erin Patterson, whom he calls “the definition of evil.” He especially found comfort in seeing the sole survivor, Ian Wilkinson, recover, closing a harrowing chapter marked by tragedy in the community.
