From hero to pariah in 72 hours: The mushroom murder trial’s fallout for Dr Chris Webster
His wife placed a gag order on the Victorian GP after his comments on triple murderer Erin Patterson.
Dr Chris Webster was on holiday in Queensland with his family when the verdict in Erin Patterson’s triple murder trial popped up on his phone.
The jury’s decision, handed down last Monday, was that Ms Patterson had murdered three family members with death cap mushroom-laced beef Wellingtons and attempted to murder a fourth.
It might have marked the end of a two-year saga that had brought Dr Webster face-to-face with a killer and placed him at the centre of a made-for-TV triple murder trial.
It did not.
