**Erin Patterson has pleaded not guilty to all charges**

Erin Patterson, 49, is facing three murder charges and two counts of attempted murder over the fatal beef Wellington meal in July last year.

Police also allege she tried to kill her estranged husband on three other occasions.

Ms Patterson has always maintained her innocence.

She has repeatedly said she did not intentionally poison her guests, and on Tuesday in the Latrobe Valley Magistrates Court was asked to formally enter pleas to the charges against her.

“ Not guilty, your honour,” she said, appearing via a video link.

The peculiar case has gripped the world and left a tight-knit regional Victorian community reeling.

Ms Patterson hosted a lunch at her home in Leongatha – a two-hour drive south-east of Melbourne – on 29 July. Attending were her former in-laws Gail and Don Patterson, along with Gail’s sister Heather Wilkinson and Heather’s husband Ian.

Police have said Ms Patterson’s estranged husband, Simon Patterson, was also invited but could not make it at the last minute.

Hours after eating the meal, all four guests fell ill with what they initially thought was severe food poisoning. Within days, the Patterson couple, both 70, and Ms Wilkinson, 66, had died. Mr Wilkinson, 68, survived, after spending almost three months in hospital.

Police say they believe the four ate death cap mushrooms – which are highly lethal if ingested.

Ms Patterson was named as a suspect by police after she appeared unharmed after the lunch.

After months of investigation, detectives allegedly uncovered another three murder attempts Ms Patterson made against her estranged husband between 2021 and 2022, and in November she was arrested and formally charged with eight offences in total.

Her case will now be fast-tracked to the Supreme Court of Victoria in Melbourne for trial, with her first hearing scheduled for 23 May.

The words that we speak are always a reflection of our hearts – the state of our minds. The things that we choose to dwell on will affect the mindset we choose to base our life decisions and actions on. If your mind is focused on the right things, the right things will flow from your mouth. If your mind dwells on negative things that bring no life, dead things will flow from the words that you speak. By “dead things” I mean that no refreshing words will be able to come out of your mouth. You will not be able to edify the people around you.

This is why we need to be mindful of the things we feed our minds. These things will be the things our minds will dwell on and formulate beliefs and convictions. If you feed your mind things that tear down and hurt others, you will end up hurting others yourself. If you feed yourself with godly material, material that gives life, you will end up giving life-giving words to the people that you encounter. It is profitable to be wise and walk in the counsel of the Lord. The words you speak and the advice you give will give life and restoration to those who need it. When your words are based on the Word of God, you will be able to refresh the souls of many.

But if your mind dwells on foolish, unfruitful things like gossip and foul speech, your words will not be profitable for anyone – they won’t even be profitable for yourself. If you let foolishness lead your life, you will find yourself in many terrible situations. Focusing on the wrong things, things that are not godly, will always lead to painful mistakes.💯
