To improve your experience update it here Prosecutors will continue questioning mushroom cook Erin Patterson as she returns for a fifth day in the witness box at her triple murder trial. The 50-year-old mother admitted to a number of lies to police on Thursday, as she nears the end of week six on trial before a Supreme Court jury in regional Victoria .

Accused killer Erin Patterson. (Anita Lester) She denies deliberately poisoning her four lunch guests on July 29, 2023 by serving them death cap mushroom-laced beef Wellingtons. Patterson admitted to 14 jurors on Thursday that she lied in her police interview about not owning a dehydrator and having never foraged for wild mushrooms. She said she had a "stupid knee-jerk reaction to just dig deeper and keep lying" after being informed two lunch guests had died. "I was just scared, but I shouldn't have done it," she told the jury. Erin Patterson's defence barrister Colin Mandy SC. (Justin McManus) The prosecution honed in on Patterson's lies during cross-examination, accusing her of lying about dehydrating mushrooms as she knew telling police the truth could implicate her in the toxic lunch. "I agree that I lied because I was afraid I would be held responsible," Patterson said. She also admitted she told Gail and Don Patterson she had a lump in her arm and was going to hospital to get it tested, which was untrue. "They made me feel loved and cared for in the way that they were asking about my health and I didn't want that to stop, so I just kept going," she said. Erin Patterson will have her case heard in Morwell. (Nine) Prosecutor Nanette Rogers SC accused her of using a "so-called cancer diagnosis" to get her guests to come over for lunch. "I suggest that you never thought you would have to account for this lie about having cancer because you thought that the lunch guests would die?" the prosecutor asked. "That's not true," Patterson replied. Patterson will return for a second day of cross-examination on Friday as the trial continues.

‘Staggering': NSW Police hunt raft of alleged public transport offenders
Sydney transport workers have been subjected to an onslaught of recent alleged violent attacks, police say, as a string of CCTV images are released in hopes of making arrests. On Friday, NSW Police released images of 15 people they are looking for, who were allegedly involved in incidents dating back to November. The 15 incidents involve Transport for NSW staff and members of the public allegedly being hit, kicked and spat on, exposed to sexual acts, and an adult allegedly directing a child to swipe a workers bag before stealing a phone. 'A staggering number of violent offences my officers respond to are against Transport for NSW staff,' transport police unit Detective Superintendent Andrew Evans said. 'These are hardworking people just trying to keep our trains, buses and light rails running and they don't deserve this treatment.' The list of 15 incidents where police are yet to make an arrest date back to November 13, and span Sydney's train and bus networks. In that November 13 incident at Central Railway Station, a man without a ticket was asked to leave, but allegedly returned to the train and assaulted a worker and pushed them to the ground. In February, a bus driver was allegedly punched in the head for not taking a man directly home. The incident happened on a bus travelling on Alcoomie Street in Villawood, about 5.30pm on February 24. A man wanted the bus driver to skip stops and take him straight home, and then assaulted the driver. On a Monday morning train ride, police say a man 'performed a sexual act' in the presence of a woman. The incident happened between Central and Bondi Junction stations, about 9.20am on April 7. On April 17 at Lidcombe Station, police say a man directed a child to steal a transport worker's bag, before the man took the worker's phone. NSW Police's transport unit is conducting a dedicated operation to arrest these and other alleged public transport offenders. 'The goal of this operation is to arrest, charge and prevent these offenders from abusing further workers,' Superintendent Evans said. 'During this operation we plan to lockdown high traffic areas on our transport network, conduct multiple firearm prohibition order compliance checks and saturate the network with officers to weed out these offenders.'
