Erin Patterson found guilty of murdering three of her estranged husband's relatives by deliberately serving them poisonous mushrooms for lunch.

The jury in the Supreme Court trial in Victoria state returned a verdict after six days of deliberations.

Patterson faces life in prison and will be sentenced later, but a date for the hearing hasn't yet been scheduled.

The case turned on whether Patterson meticulously planned a triple murder or accidentally killed three people she loved.
