Simon Patterson, the estranged husband of Erin Patterson, who was convicted of murdering his family members, is set to release a memoir that will share his perspective on the case. Erin Patterson was found guilty of killing Simon's parents, Don and Gail, and his aunt, Heather Wilkinson, by serving them a meal containing death cap mushrooms in July 2023. Simon's spokesperson, Jessica O’Donnell, announced that details about the book will be disclosed soon, but Simon prefers to communicate through the memoir rather than directly with the media. The memoir's publication will be postponed until the conclusion of two ongoing appeals related to Erin Patterson's conviction. Patterson is currently serving a life sentence with a non-parole period of 33 years, a sentence that is being contested by the Victorian director of public prosecutions as being too lenient. The case has garnered extensive media coverage, resulting in multiple documentaries and podcasts, highlighting the public's interest in Simon Patterson's story.
