The self-taught cook and best-selling author took to social media on Tuesday to plead for privacy in the wake of the Erin Patterson murder trial.
'It is of course upsetting to learn that one of my recipes – possibly the one I've spent more hours perfecting than any other – [and] something I created to bring joy and happiness, is entangled in a tragic situation,' Maehashi wrote to her 1.6 million Instagram followers.
'Other than that, I have nothing to say and I won't be talking to anyone.'

STI update on childcare kids
All children tested for sexually transmitted infections in connection with an accused childcare pedophile have so far tested negative, the Victorian government said. About 2000 children required testing as part of a police investigation into alleged child abuser Joshua Dale Brown. Deputy Premier Ben Carroll told reporters on Wednesday that the latest advice came from health authorities. 'I think they've tested just about everyone — but I can get that clarified — and all the tests have been negative,' he said. 'This is something we hoped for and wished for.' Mr Brown, 26, is facing more than 70 charges, including sexual activity in presence of a child under 16, sexual assault of a child under 16 and possessing child abuse material. He has yet to enter pleas to the charges. The charges involve eight children, aged between five months and two years, between April 2022 and January 2023. As a precaution, testing was required for children who attended all of the centres where he worked. Mr Brown worked at 23 childcare centres in Melbourne between January 2017 and May 2025. Joshua Dale Brown's lawyer Rishi Nathwani has flagged more charges could be laid. NewsWire / Diego Fedele Credit: News Corp Australia It was revealed on Tuesday in court that more charges could be laid. High-profile barrister Rishi Nathwani appeared in court as prosecutors requested additional time to prepare a hand-up brief of their evidence against Mr Brown. Mr Brown did not appear in court for the brief hearing. Magistrate Donna Bakos approved the request for police to provide their case to Mr Brown's lawyers by December 4. The court was told police had provided a sworn affidavit in support of the delay, which was unopposed by Mr Nathwani. The barrister said the affidavit was 'helpful and detailed' in setting out the significant investigational steps police still need to undertake. Mr Nathwani also flagged the informant — the detective who laid the charges — had written that there was the potential for further charges and amendments to the existing charges. Mr Brown is expected to return to court in February.

Adam Simpson ‘was in tears' after infamous 2022 nightclub incident involving Patrick Naish and six others
Former West Coast coach Adam Simpson was brought to tears in the aftermath of the club's infamous COVID nightclub incident in 2022. Seven Eagles players were fined $5000 after being spotted at a Perth nightclub during the late stages of the COVID-19 pandemic, at which point AFL players were living under strict parameters to ensure the competition could run with limited disruption during what was an unprecedented time. WATCH THE VIDEO ABOVE: Pat Naish explains story behind infamous nightclub incident. Pat Naish, Hugh Dixon, Jackson Nelson, Josh Rotham, Jake Waterman, Rhett Bazzo and Campbell Chesser were all sanctioned by the club. At the time, Simpson called it an 'error in judgement'. 'Decisions have been made, sanctions have been laid and now we need to get on with it,' Simpson told 7NEWS Perth after it happened. 'They're very remorseful, obviously it's an error in judgement and we'll move on. 'With the current environment and where we're at, it's just really poor judgement from those boys. 'They've got a bit of trust to earn back from the playing group and the club.' Speaking to new podcast What Could've Been about the incident for the first time, Naish — who moved to West Coast after being delisted by Richmond in 2021 — says he had even let then-Eagles captain Luke Shuey know about the night out in advance. 'It was (Richmond defender) Nathan Broad's engagement party, because he's from WA and so is his partner,' Naish said. 'I got invited to that, and we played Richmond that Friday night, and I reckon it was on a Saturday (the engagement). 'What I thought is that I was just catching up with a couple of Richmond mates for dinner and a couple of beers, and I ended up leaving there at like 10.30pm. It was a harmless night. 'But yeah, got out, left there early, went home, and thought nothing of it. 'And I ran it by 'Boots' (Shuey) before. I was like, 'Mate, don't know if this is all good but I've got a couple of the Richmond boys over, they're over for Broady's, and I've been invited to his engagement party'.' Simpson — who incidentally contracted COVID days later, along with several others at the club — was distraught when he spoke to Naish the next Monday. 'The photo that got leaked was a photo that Hip-E Club actually posted on their Instagram, and it was Jackson Nelson with Liam Baker, Josh Rotham and a couple other boys, and that's how the club found out,' Naish said. 'From there, in WA, it was literally like the biggest news ever. 'I remember we played Brisbane the next week and I was good mates with Cam Rayner, and Cam goes, 'Why are you blokes in trouble?' and I was like, 'Mate, I actually have no idea'. 'I remember we had to go in on the Monday and I walked into Simmo's office, and Simmo was in tears — in tears. 'Because he goes, 'Mate, we found you, we gave you a second life and you've repaid us like this'. 'I reckon I had four beers, like I wasn't even (doing anything bad).' A club statement at the time said the players had disobeyed 'guidelines', but didn't specify that any rules were broken. Naish, who had been given a lifeline by the Eagles earlier that year as a pre-season supplemental selection period (SSP) addition to the list, was delisted at season's end. 'Did it ruin my career? I don't know,' the 26-year-old said. 'I don't think about it much, to be completely honest. 'I enjoyed the first half of the year (in the AFL side) and then enjoyed playing WAFL. 'I went out of my comfort zone moving to WA for a year and lived in Wembley which is a good part of the world. 'But I wouldn't change it to be honest; it was unreal, I met some lifelong friends there, and had some fun along the way.' Naish, the son of former Tigers great Chris Naish was originally drafted as a father-son selection to the Tigers in 2017. He played nine games at Tigerland before being delisted at the end of 2021. He played another 11 games at West Coast in 2022.

Journalist's horror discovery reporting missing girl case
A Brazilian journalist has made a grim discovery while reporting on a missing schoolgirl who was last seen swimming in the Mearim River in Bacabal, northeastern Brazil. Lenildo Frazão was reporting from chest deep in the river while a segment was filmed, illustrating the depth of the river where the 13-year-old was seen cooling off with friends. 'The water is already above my chest, so you can see the situation there. If I walk a little here, let me see, I'm going to walk a bit more, here it's deep' Frazão confirmed in Spanish as he waded through the water. Chillingly, as he takes a step deeper he immediately springs back in panic, rushing out of the river, holding his microphone above the water's surface. 'I found something at the bottom of the water . . . it wasn't soft' he said. Frazão wasn't exactly sure what he'd felt, but he feared the worst and refused to continue the report. 'No, I'm not going, I'm scared. It felt like an arm, could it be her? But it might be a fish too, I don't know.' Following the reporter's eerie experience, divers and firefighters resumed the search for the missing girl on the morning of June 30. Sadly, they soon located the schoolgirl's body, close to where Frazão had been filming. Frazão wasn't exactly sure what he'd felt, but he feared the worst and refused to continue the report. Credit: @eitabacabal / Instagram The 13-year-old girl, who was only known as Raíssa, drowned while swimming in the river with some friends. Frazão had emphasised the river's hazardous risks during the start of his report, emphasising its powerful currents and irregular depth created by holes in the riverbed. Accidental drowning was confirmed as the cause of death after a post-mortem examination revealed no evidence of trauma. Raíssa was buried on June 30 according to The Sun.
