Australian Erin Patterson was found guilty today of murdering three of her estranged husband’s relatives with a poisonous beef wellington.

The jury in the Supreme Court trial in the state of Victoria returned a verdict after six days of deliberations, following a nine-week trial that had gripped Australia.

Patterson faces life in prison and will be sentenced at a later date, but showed no emotion as the verdicts were read out loud.
