Erin Patterson, 50, was charged with the murders of her mother-in-law Gail Patterson, father-in-law Donald Patterson and Gail’s sister, Heather Wilkinson, along with the attempted murder of Ian Wilkinson, Heather’s husband.
Patterson faces life in prison and will be sentenced at a later date.
All four guests were hospitalised the next day with poisoning from death cap mushrooms, also known as amanita phalloides, which were added to the beef dish.
Patterson had pleaded not guilty to all charges, saying the deaths were accidental.
The guilty verdicts, which were required to be unanimous, indicated that jurors rejected Patterson’s defense that the presence of the poisonous fungi in the meal was a terrible accident, caused by the mistaken inclusion of foraged mushrooms that she didn’t know were death caps.
The 10-week trial attracted huge global interest, with local and international media descending on Court 4 at the Latrobe Valley Magistrates’ Court in Morwell.
