> "For the jury, Ian recounted watching the parcels go onto four grey plates – and an orange one for Erin – with mashed potatoes, green beans and gravy heaped on the side."

I mean if you're going to poison everyone at the dinner you've made, but you're too thick to remember which safe serving is yours, then you're gonna get caught.

> "....and posts in a true crime Facebook group where she boasted about using it. "I've been hiding powdered mushrooms in everything. Mixed into chocolate brownies yesterday, the kids had no idea," she wrote in one."

Oh good grief, worlds worst poisoner......

It's a good job this didn't happen in New Zealand as it would have been tirrible.






I'll get my coat

At least you where kind enough not to put it in the joke thread.

That's seriously thick gravy if you can heap it up.

I think this is going to be the Raid on Entebbe of mushroom poisoning movies. At least three different versions, one of them starring people you know, one of them featuring the correct type of mushroom and one knocked out quickly by someone who claims to like mushrooms.

Without the Idi and Yasser side show!? Won't be the same.

I was reading over this again and what if, she is actually telling the truth? I know it looks like she did do it, but in the cases below it looked like they did, until it was proved that they didn't.

Theres a couple of quite famous cases where the wrong person was convicted. There is the sad case of Death of Azaria Chamberlain where a woman was wrongly imprisoned for killing her baby, when in fact a dingo took it. And then there is the Bain family murders where a man was wrongly convicted of 5 murders when in fact it was his dad.

I've been following it and I'm not sure she would know the truth if it smacked her on the noggin.

It wouldn't be the first case of someone who couldn't tell the difference between truth and fiction being wrongly convinced because of it.

Its an odd one for sure. I'm sure there'll be a decent enough documentary made sometime soon. I know from what I read today there seemed to be a lack of motivation to want to kill them, some tension sure after she split but alledgedly she got on well with her ex father in law so to go from feeling isolated to deciding to kill them all is quite the leap of logic.

Did the ex need inheritance cash from his parents?

I don't think so unless its not reported I don't think money has come into it (yet).

There wasn't mush room for doubt.

I thought you were a Fungi until you posted that horrific joke.
