Man fights for life after hotel stabbing spree
Three people are in the hospital, with one fighting for life after an alleged horror stabbing at a central Adelaide apartment.
Emergency services were called to Altitude Apartments located in the CBD, near Franklin, Waymouth and Morphett Street, just before 5am on Monday where patrols found three people with stab wounds.
All three have been taken to hospital.
One remains in a critical condition while the other two are in a stable condition, South Australia Police said in a statement.
Footage captured by 9News shows police and paramedics swarming the scene, with broken glass visible on the floor of the hotel lobby.
The area has been closed off by police, and officers are currently interviewing one person.
Police believe the men involved were known to each other and it was not a random incident.
Investigations will continue, and anyone with information has been urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
More to come.

US distributor Republic National Distributing Company to leave California
Major beverage-alcohol distributor Republic National Distributing Company (RNDC) is to quit California in September. RNDC has seen the end of major contracts in the Golden State in recent months, including Brown-Forman shifting products to rival distributor Reyes Beverage Group. 'We've made the difficult business decision to withdraw from California which affects many of the roles in the state,' a spokesperson for RNDC. The distributor's departure will take effect on 2 September. The spokesperson refused to be drawn on the number of jobs set to be affected. 'We are complying with all regulatory obligations and are committed to handling every transition thoughtfully and smoothly and ensuring everyone is treated fairly and respectfully. We are grateful for the support of these employees and will do our best to support them during this time,' the spokesperson said, refusing to be drawn on the reasons for the decision. Earlier this year, Tito's Handmade Vodka also moved its California distribution from RNDC to Reyes Beverage Group. Among the companies RNDC works for in California is Treasury Wine Estates, the Australia-based wine group. In a stock-exchange filing in Australia today, the Penfolds owner provided a short statement on RNDC's decision. Treasury Wine Estates said RNDC's move would not affect its financial results in its current financial year, which ends in June. However, the group added: 'TWE has begun evaluating alternative distribution arrangements for its portfolio in California to determine an appropriate path forward. 'TWE's relationship with RNDC spans 25 US states, including California. The closure of RNDC's California operations is not expected to impact the remainder of its business, and RNDC has reiterated its commitment to investing behind and driving TWE's portfolio in the remaining 24 states.' Brown-Forman announced its new contract in California with Reyes Beverage Group in February. Last week, the Jack Daniel's maker set out a broader set of changes to its US distribution network that reportedly means RNDC will handle the spirits giant's products in 12 markets in the country, down from 23.

Woman who denies mushroom murders of her in-laws accepts that she served them death caps for lunch
WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) — An Australian woman accused of murdering three of her estranged husband's relatives with poisonous mushrooms told a court on Tuesday she accepted that the fatal lunch she served contained death caps. But Erin Patterson said the 'vast majority' of the fungi came from local stores. She denies three counts of murder and one of attempted murder over the beef Wellington meal she served to her parents-in-law and her estranged husband's aunt and uncle at her home in July 2023. Don Patterson, Gail Patterson and Heather Wilkinson were hospitalized and died after the lunch in the rural town of Leongatha in the Australian state of Victoria. Heather's husband, Ian Wilkinson, was gravely ill but survived. Patterson's lawyer earlier told the Supreme Court trial that the poisoning was a tragic accident but prosecutors said it was deliberate. If convicted, she faces a sentence of life imprisonment on the murder charges and 25 years in jail for attempted murder. Long queues formed outside the Latrobe Valley Courthouse on Tuesday after Patterson took the stand late Monday, which was the first time she had spoken publicly since the deaths. Accused foraged mushrooms for years During several hours of evidence on Tuesday, Patterson, 50, told the court she began foraging fungi during the COVID-19 lockdown of March 2020, witnessed only by her children. 'I cut a bit of one of the mushrooms, fried it up with some butter and ate it,' she said. 'They tasted good and I didn't get sick.' Patterson said she also fed foraged mushrooms to her children, chopped up 'very, very small' so they couldn't pick them out of curries, pasta and soups. She developed a taste for exotic varieties, joined a 'mushroom lovers' Facebook group, and bought a dehydrator to preserve her finds, Patterson said. Her lawyer, Colin Mandy SC, asked if she accepted that the beef Wellington pastries she had served to her lunch guests in 2023 contained death caps. 'Yes, I do,' said Patterson. The accused told her lawyer most of the mushrooms she used that day came from local supermarkets. She agreed she might have put them in the same container as dehydrated wild mushrooms she had foraged weeks earlier and others from an Asian food store. Mandy in April told the court his client had lied when she initially told investigators that she had never foraged before. But he denied that she had deliberately sought out death cap mushrooms and said she disposed of her dehydrator in a panic about the accidental deaths. Regrets over 'venting' messages about in-laws Earlier Tuesday, Patterson became tearful when she was asked about expletive-filled messages she had sent about her in-laws in December 2022 in a Facebook group chat that she described as a 'safe venting space' for a group of women. 'I wish I'd never said it. I feel very ashamed for saying it and I wish that the family didn't have to hear that I said it,' said Patterson. 'They didn't deserve it.' Patterson, who said she had tried to have her parents-in-law mediate a dispute with her estranged husband, Simon, about school fees, said she was feeling hurt, frustrated and 'a little bit desperate.' The couple formally separated in 2015 after earlier temporary splits, the court has heard. Simon Patterson was invited to the July 2023 lunch but did not attend. Accused said she was still close with husband's family Tuesday's evidence also traversed Patterson's health after prosecutors' suggestions that her lunch invitation was unusual and that she'd organized it on a false pretense of receiving a cancer diagnosis. The mother of two admitted she never had cancer, but had been worried enough by symptoms to seek tests. Despite her separation from Simon, Patterson said she had hoped to reunite with her estranged husband and said she had remained close to her in-laws. 'It never changed. I was just their daughter in law,' said Patterson, through tears. 'They just continued to love me.' Evidence follows lengthy prosecution case The 14-member jury has heard five weeks of prosecution evidence, including what the lunch guests told relatives before they died. Heather Wilkinson said shortly before she died that Patterson ate her individual beef wellington pastry from a different colored plate to the other diners, said prosecutor Nanette Rogers. Opening her case in April, Rogers said the poisoning was deliberate but that her case would not suggest a motive for the alleged killings. The prosecution says Patterson lied when she told investigators she had eaten the same meal as her guests and fed her children the leftovers. Patterson is due to continue giving evidence on Wednesday. Her evidence Tuesday did not include her account of the day of the lunch, or cross-examination from prosecutors.
