Court hears testimony on experience of Gail Patterson in hospital

Terrington recalls a Signal message from her Simon on 30 July – the day after the mushroom lunch.

“He said mum and dad were in hospital … they had been experiencing vomiting and diarrhoea since about midnight.”

He said that Erin was experiencing diarrhoea but was “soldiering on at home”.

Terrington recalls Simon saying their parents were “worn out and tired” so she did not call them. She travelled to Dandenong hospital the same day at about 10pm, the court hears.

Terrington stayed with her mother, Gail, overnight and helped her go to the bathroom “many times.” She becomes emotional as she recalls assisting her mother in hospital.

The pair discussed the lunch the previous day. Gail said Erin had wanted to tell the lunch guests about a medical issue she had, Terrington says

Gail did not disclose to Terrington what the medical issue was, the court hears.
