Triple murder accused and mushroom cook Erin Patterson is set to continue her evidence in an Australian court today

Three family members of Patterson's estranged husband died after eating the lunch she prepared at her Victoria home in 2023.

Channel Seven's Cassie Zervos says Patterson began her evidence yesterday, stating she had a functional relationship with her estranged husband at the time.

But Patterson told the court she felt the relationship with the wider Patterson family had become more distant.
