Australian convicted murderer Erin Patterson has alleged a "substantial miscarriage of justice" took place when she was convicted for killing three people with toxic mushrooms, court documents made public on Wednesday showed.
Patterson, 51, was handed life in prison with parole this year for serving a beef Wellington laced with poisonous fungi to her estranged husband's parents, aunt and uncle during a lunch at her home in 2023, killing three of them.
Local media, including national broadcaster ABC and the Sydney Morning Herald, reported Monday that Patterson's bid to appeal her guilty verdicts had been lodged and accepted by the Court of Appeal.
The state of Victoria's Court of Appeal said Wednesday however that while her appeal had been lodged, it had not yet been accepted.
