It’s the case that gripped the nation – and the world.

The typically sleepy Victorian town of Leongatha was thrust into the spotlight after a family lunch turned deadly.

Erin Patterson welcomed her ex-husband’s parents Don and Gail Patterson and his aunt and uncle Heather and Ian Wilkinson to her home for a meal on July 29, 2023.

Months later, she was charged with the murders of Don, Gail and Heather, as well as the attempted murder of Ian.

She has denied any wrongdoing.

Now, she’s about to have her day in court.

It’s one of the most highly-anticipated trials in Australian legal history.

And we’ll be there every step of the way.
