Delays in testing biological samples linked to Erin Patterson's deadly meal are thought to be hampering Australian police.
A forensics backlog is said to be holding up the investigation into Erin Patterson’s fatal meal
Ms Patterson, who survived despite claiming she ate the same beef Wellington thought to contain deadly mushrooms, remains under no suspicion. The newspaper cites police sources saying that detectives on the case will hardly have their ‘cue in the rack’.The materials which need testing are likely to include samples taken from leftovers of the pastry dish which Ms Patterson, a 48-year-old amateur cook from Leongatha, Victoria, handed over to local police.
According to a friend of the family, she is known to be ‘very good at foraging’, picking and identifying wild mushrooms in the surrounding countryside on a regular basis.The presence of mushrooms in the dish is not thought to be of any controversy, as beef Wellington recipes classically call for a layer of finely minced mushroom between the meat and pastry casing.
