Australia: A mother was found guilty today of murdering her in-laws and a friend by inviting them over for a beef Wellington lunch, laced with foraged Death Cap mushrooms. Tried fairly hard to get her (estranged) husband over for the lunch too.

There was previous counts of trying to poison her ex that were dropped. I suspect that's why he dodged the lunch!

I don't blame him for not showing up! And she tried to gaslight him into coming!
