Murray Olds: Australian correspondent on Erin Patterson's jury beginning deliberations - Heather du Plessis-Allan Drive

The jury in the trial of triple-murder accused Erin Patterson is edging towards beginning deliberations in Australia's Victoria.

The 50-year-old also faces a charge of attempted murder over a toxic beef Wellington lunch she served to her estranged husband's family in 2023.

She maintains her innocence - claiming it was a terrible accident.

Australian correspondent Murray Olds says Justice Christopher Beale has left clear instructions for the jury - and told them to resist bias, prejudice and sympathy.
