A woman who allegedly cooked the suspected poisoned mushroom meal that killed three people and left another in hospital fighting for life has professed her innocence.
Homicide squad detectives are continuing to investigate how four guests became ill after attending a lunch at a Leongatha home in Victoria’s southeast on July 29.
One of the guests, 66-year-old Heather Wilkinson, died in hospital on Friday.
Her husband, 68-year-old Baptist Church pastor Ian Wilkinson, remains in critical condition at the Austin Hospital on Monday afternoon.
Ms Wilkinson’s sister Gail Patterson, 70, and brother-in-law Don Patterson, 70, have also died in hospital.
The Pattersons’ daughter-in-law, who police say cooked the meal at her home but did not become ill, has been interviewed by investigators.
