In a chilling revelation, Erin Patterson, the woman accused of murdering her estranged husband’s family, expresses seemingly insincere affection for them, declaring, “I love them.” This statement originates from recently released police interrogation tapes where Patterson is questioned about a fatal lunch she hosted in Leongatha. During the interrogation, she insists she had no intention of poisoning her guests, presenting a façade of innocence amidst grave accusations.
Patterson’s claims about the victims paint them as “good, decent people” who had never wronged her, further complicating the narrative surrounding the tragic events. The tapes not only highlight her contradictory statements but also provide insight into a darker pattern in her relationships, as prior allegations of her sabotaging meals have come to light, particularly concerning her estranged husband, Simon.
These troubling disclosures shed new light on the character of Patterson and the tragic incident that has captivated the community and sparked intense media scrutiny.
