Defence barrister Colin Mandy, SC, has resumed his questioning of Erin Patterson by asking her about her knowledge of her in-laws, Don and Gail Patterson’s health and hospital stay.
Patterson said Simon had told her Don and Gail Patterson were at Korumburra Hospital on Sunday, July 30, 2023, the day after the lunch.
“It was Monday morning. I think it was the conversation with Matthew where he told me he was at Dandenong Hospital with Don. I think that’s the first time I knew that,” she said.
“I learnt on Tuesday afternoon that they had been moved to the Austin.”
Patterson said it was clear to her that there had been a progression of symptoms to require a move from a country hospital to a city hospital to another city hospital.
“It seemed likely to me that they were getting sicker,” she said.
