    The estranged husband of triple murderer Erin Patterson claims she tried to poison him on multiple occasions

    The estranged husband of triple murderer Erin Patterson claims she tried to poison him on multiple occasions


    Simon Patterson says he was served a toxic penne pasta and chicken korma curry in the years before three of his family members were killed.

    Attempted murder charges were initially laid in 2023, but dropped before the murder trial began.

    Sky News Correspondent Holly Stearnes says he spoke with his doctor multiple times before the fatal lunch.

    She says multiple meals made for Simon Patterson sick and put him in hospital several times.

    He has the chance to give an impact statement ahead of her sentencing later this month
