Erin Patterson completed her final day of testimony in her triple murder trial at the Supreme Court of Victoria, facing questioning about inconsistencies in her story and allegations she deliberately poisoned her relatives with death cap mushrooms.

The prosecution directly challenged Ms Patterson on key points including a disputed roadside stop, suspicious phone activity, and her alleged research of toxic fungi, while she maintained her innocence when asked if she deliberately killed her family members.

• Crown Prosecutor Dr Nanette Rogers suggested Ms Patterson's "bushland poo" story was fabricated when her son couldn't recall the incident happening
• Prosecutors alleged Ms Patterson deliberately removed a SIM card from her phone during an unscheduled police visit on August 5, 2023
• Ms Patterson denied researching death cap mushrooms or deliberately including them in the beef wellington
• Defence counsel presented evidence of Ms Patterson's communications with a cosmetic clinic, addressing confusion about weight loss treatment options
• Ms Patterson explained she made six beef wellingtons because she had enough ingredients and thought she could eat the extra one another day
• The trial now moves to closing arguments before the jury deliberates on a verdict
