Erin Patterson has been charged with five counts of murder after her beef Wellington killed three people.
Patterson, 49, cooked lunch for her estranged husband’s parents, Gail and Don, and his aunt and uncle, Heather and Ian, on July 29. Heather, Gail and Don all died days later, and Ian spent almost two months in the hospital before making a full recovery.
The mom-of-two from Australia was taken into custody on Thursday and appeared in court on Friday. Investigators believe that the group ate death cap mushrooms, which are responsible for 90% of mushroom poisoning deaths.
Patterson has insisted that she did not intentionally poison her in-laws and said that she also fell ill after the meal.
“Over the last three months, this investigation has been subjected to incredibly intense levels of public scrutiny and curiosity,” said Detective Dean Thomas in a statement. “I cannot think of another investigation that has generated...

Back in its heyday, How To Get Away With Murder was one of the hottest shows on television.
Thursday nights on ABC were once the night that Shonda Rhimes built from start to finish, with Grey’s Anatomy, Scandal, and the aforementioned legal drama setting the interwebs on fire every week.
The series was a bonafide hit from the start and constantly had social media ablaze as viewers were thrust into murderous coverups and shocking twists every season.
It’s been over three years since the series signed off, and while we’re still reliving all the bloody mayhem during our various rewatches, the cast has moved on to other projects. And what projects might those be? Let’s look at what the cast of How To Get Away With Murder is doing now!

It should become clear within a minute of pressing play on HBO Max’s “Harry Potter” 20th Anniversary special (“Return to Hogwarts”) whether you’re in or out for the nearly 2-hour special to come. The dreamy opening evokes the canny, warm charm of a Christmas commercial, to the familiar tune of John Williams’ iconic score (with an extra helping of jingle bells for good measure). The camera homes in on actors Emma Watson (who played Hermione Granger), Matthew Lewis (Neville Longbottom), and Robbie Coltrane (Hagrid) enjoying a crisp winter’s day at their own quiet leisure before noticing envelopes bearing their names, telltale wax seals, and their precise locations where more typical addresses should be. As they open their invitations for the special, they play their parts with the same level of wide-eyed wonder that they brought to the first “Harry Potter” two decades ago.

We’re a year in to the Siege of Troy now, Priam’s fabulous moustache is somewhat greyer, and both siegers and besieged are in desperate need of food. Stories about the Trojan War tend to focus on the beginning stages (the Judgment of Paris, the abduction of Helen, the sacrifice of Iphigenia), the battle parts, or the final stages and then the return home of the survivors afterwards. This means that the lengthy period of time during which the both sides are stuck in a stalemate in one place is...

It seems someone might need an extra-strong dose of Veritaserum.
Although Matthew Lewis' transformation from mild-mannered wizard to muscled Muggle continues to shock the Internet, one of his Harry Potter costars says Lewis – who starred as nerdy Neville Longbottom in all eight Potter films – has been hiding a secret all along.
"Matt Lewis has been a very good-looking guy for a little while now," Alfred Enoch, 26, who played fellow Gryffindor Dean Thomas, told People Monday at Entertainment Weekly and People's Upfronts party in New York City.
"I mean, he had to wear fake teeth, and he had to wear a fat suit,...
