Patterson was found guilty last month of luring her mother-in-law Gail Patterson, father-in-law Donald Patterson and Gail's sister, Heather Wilkinson, to lunch at her home and poisoning them with individual portions of Beef Wellington that contained toxic death cap mushrooms.
On Monday, speaking at the start of a two-day pre-sentencing hearing, Ian Wilkinson told a court in Melbourne that the death of his wife had left him bereft.
Wilkinson, a pastor in a local church, spent months in hospital recovering from the poisoning, and said on Monday he had only narrowly survived.
“I encourage Erin to receive my offer of forgiveness for those harms done to me with full confession and repentance. I bear her no ill will,“ he said.
The court received a total of 28 victim impact statements, of which seven were read publicly.
“The grim reality is they live in an irreparably broken home with only a solo parent, when almost everyone else knows their mother murdered their grandparents,“ he said in a statement that was read out on his behalf.
The current hearing will form part of presiding judge Justice Christopher Beale's sentencing decision, which will be heard at a later date.
Patterson faces a maximum sentence of life in prison. She has 28 days from the day of her sentencing to appeal, but has not yet indicated whether she will do so - REUTERS
