Victorian police have arrested Erin Patterson in relation to the suspected mushroom poisoning deaths in regional Australia.
Once the search of the premises is complete today the female will be interviewed by homicide squad investigators.
The female? Not the woman or even her name? Talk about lazy grammar
Apart from making me giggle at how Ferengi it sounds isn’t this like some kind of internal policy driven language and not just the whim of a staffer?
That’s even grosser. How should the newspaper know or anyone care if a person is female, have they interviewed her doctor or taken a dna sample?
The fact that a dog can sniff out a sim card leaves me in awe of their abilities.
Was this in the article before ? It’s not now. maybe it was edited.
Summary bot has this bit:
Technology dogs, which are often Labradors, are trained to smell the chemical triphenylphosphine oxide (TPPO) that is found on circuit boards, sim cards and hard drives.
Article doesn’t say anything about dogs though. Weird,.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The woman at the centre of the suspected mushroom poisoning that left three people dead and a fourth fighting for his life after a family lunch has been arrested by Victorian police.
“A search warrant has been executed at the Gibson Street address, with assistance from the AFP’s [Australian federal police’s] technology detector dogs.
Technology dogs, which are often Labradors, are trained to smell the chemical triphenylphosphine oxide (TPPO) that is found on circuit boards, sim cards and hard drives.
In a statement provided to Victoria police and obtained by the ABC earlier this year, Patterson confirmed her estranged husband had accused her of killing his parents.
She said she had been at the hospital with her children “discussing the food hydrator”, which was later found at the tip, when Simon asked her if it was “what you used to poison them?”.
Patterson said in the statement that she was worried she would lose custody of their children and dumped the hydrator in the tip and had panicked.
The original article contains 317 words, the summary contains 168 words. Saved 47%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
She did it for sure. but why?
Dehydrating mushrooms for pie?? I assume she’s just some ding dong that accidentally poison these people but why ditch the dehydrator even if someone accused you of some shit? Guess the cops thought it was pretty suss too.
