00:12In addition to denying the use of foraged mushrooms, you engaged in an elaborate cover-up
00:18of your guilt.
00:19I find that you disposed of the four grey plates on which you served the poison beef
00:23wellingtons.

00:32You disposed of the dehydrator soon after you were released from hospital.

00:42the gall to tell police in your recorded police interview that you had been very, very helpful
00:48to the Health Department in its investigation of the incident.
00:53You disposed of your phone and provided police with a dummy phone.
00:56You lied to the police in your recorded police interview about various matters.

01:17in your testimony.
01:19Not only did you cut short three lives and cause lasting damage to Ian Wilkinson's health,
01:26thereby devastating the extended Paterson and Wilkinson families, you inflicted untold
01:31suffering on your own children whom you robbed of their beloved grandparents.
