新证据显示艾琳·帕特森曾试图毒害疏远的丈夫
摘要
解封的法庭文件显示，艾琳·帕特森的疏远丈夫曾怀疑她在涉及其岳父母致命蘑菇事件之前多次毒害自己。
最近解封的法庭文件显示，艾琳·帕特森的疏远丈夫西蒙·帕特森曾多次怀疑她毒害自己，时间早于涉及其岳父母的致命事件。50岁的艾琳·帕特森于上个月被判定谋杀其岳父母唐和盖尔·帕特森以及盖尔的妹妹希瑟·威尔金森。2023年7月，她在维多利亚州利昂加萨的家中，给他们提供了掺有死亡帽蘑菇的威灵顿牛排餐，导致三人死亡。
西蒙·帕特森在审前听证会上作证称，他因担心被毒害而拒绝了午餐邀请。他回忆说，在2021年11月至2022年9月期间，食用艾琳准备的餐食后曾多次严重生病，包括意大利宽面条肉酱、鸡肉咖喱和蔬菜卷。这些事件导致他住院治疗，其中一次甚至陷入昏迷并接受了部分肠道切除手术。医疗专家未能确定其病因。
最初，艾琳·帕特森还面临试图谋杀西蒙的额外指控，但检察官在2025年4月审判开始前撤销了这些指控。陪审团在审判期间未被告知这些指控。法官克里斯托弗·比尔最近解除禁言令，允许公开这些信息。
艾琳·帕特森定于2025年8月25日进行量刑听证，面临三项谋杀罪名可能的终身监禁，以及一项未遂谋杀罪名最高25年的刑期。她的法律团队已表示计划对判决提出上诉。
