Doctor who treated Erin Patterson facing ‘formal complaints’ over his public comments about the triple murderer

Dr Chris Webster has been in the media spotlight since the guilty verdict was delivered.

A GP who treated convicted murderer Erin Patterson and gave evidence at her trial is reportedly facing complaints over his post-trial media comments calling the killer a “crazy bitch” and “sociopathic nutbag”.

Dr Chris Webster entered the media spotlight after Ms Patterson was found guilty of killing three people and attempting to murder a fourth with death cap mushrooms in a beef Wellington. 

He gave several interviews about the case, featuring in the article published by AusDoc on Tuesday about his experiences as a witness and the impact on his life.

In other media interviews, he spoke about Ms Patterson, telling the Herald Sun he concluded that she was a killer after she said she bought the mushrooms at Woolworths.
