The Australian woman who served up poison mushrooms suspected to have killed three people has sent a new statement to police.

Erin Patterson now says she was hospitalised after the meal and had bought the ingredients from two different shops.

Australian correspondent Donna Demaio Kate Hawkesby says Police are continuing to investigate the deaths.

She says Patterson says she released the statement so 'people are not so quick to pass judgement.'

She's also admitted lying to investigators that a food dehydrator found at a local tip had been left by her months ago.

Patterson says she actually dumped it in a panic after the lunch,  when questioned about it by her ex-husband.
