REPORT (10News): This is the moment Erin Patterson was sentenced to life in prison for the mushroom murders.

In an extraordinary first, news cameras were permitted to broadcast the sentencing from inside Victoria’s Supreme Court, allowing viewers to watch as Justice Christopher Beale handed down the life sentence.

Patterson was reportedly sentenced to life in prison for the murders of Heather Wilkinson, Gail Patterson, and Don Patterson, and was given a 25-year sentence for the attempted murder of Ian Wilkinson. All sentences are to be served concurrently.

Patterson was also reportedly handed a non-parole period of 33 years.
