It’s been just over a month since Erin Patterson was found guilty of killing her in-laws Don and Gail Patterson, both 70, along with Gail’s sister Heather Wilkinson, 66.

And now, her ex-husband Simon Patterson could be penning a book to share what it was like being married to the convicted killer.


Patterson is not someone likely to tell all on 60 Minutes or CNN,” journalist John Ferguson writes in The Australian.

Expect to see him take control of the narrative, possibly via a podcast and maybe a book, but his story and how it is told is still a work in progress and in his hands.

After the verdict was returned on July 7, one UK media outlet offered Simon up to $500K for an exclusive interview, which he reportedly denied.

LOTS TO GRIEVE​

Simon requested access to daily transcripts from the trial, which he was not able to follow at the time due to being a witness.

“Your Honour, would you be able to make available, after all the legal proceedings are finished, the transcripts of all those hearings,” he asked judge Christopher Beale.

“I have a lot to grieve and am grieving a lot about all this stuff here, as I’m sure you can imagine.”

While the world is eager to hear from Simon, who was married to Erin from 2007 to 2015, others believe he will never publicly share his side of the story.

“If I was giving the family advice, I would suggest they just stay quiet and try to rebuild their lives because at the heart of this, there are two kids who have lost their grandparents, and they’ve effectively lost their mother,” former detective and author of the upcoming book about the trial, Recipe For Murder Duncan McNab, tells Woman’s Day.

And while no sentencing hearing has been set for Patterson, Duncan expects she will receive a life sentence.

I would suggest life without the possibility of parole if they can do that in Victoria,he says.

She’s 50 years old now, so I doubt she’ll be seeing life on the other side of the bars until she’s extremely old or dead.

I think it’s a bit rich for an author of a book to suggest SP keep quiet, he will make money, SP might need it to help recovery. I can’t imagine his grief, so telling his story may be cathartic for him.

If I were Simon, I would be terrified of the offender (EP) trying to harm him from prison via whatever means prisoners have of sending a hired killer after someone on the outside. IMO

She'd have to have resources and strong social connections to other inmates to even begin that kind of action.

And we know what assets she still has are tied up with lawyers, and she does not play well with others.

Anyone she approached inside would be far more likely to go straight to the cops than actually help her.

It'd be a disaster for her, along the lines of James Craig.

MOO

I'm here for whatever Simon wishes to share.

But he (Duncan McNab) is writing a book about it??? How absurd!

 

[Detechtive]

I'm here for whatever Simon wishes to share.

Me too! And I hope he makes a LOT of money so that he can solo parent his kids through this horrible trauma.

 

[Detechtive]

I think her most potent tool from behind bars is psychological torment of her children, if Simon continues to allow them to see her (which I hope he doesn't). There is nothing good that can come of them having contact with her. IMO

That’s a difficult one, I think it’s harmful either way.

Trying to imagine school age children being trotted out to a prison to visit the murderer of their grandparents.

 

[Detechtive]

Trying to imagine school age children being trotted out to a prison to visit the murderer of their grandparents.

And the attempted murder of their father... where she tried to rope her own daughter into poisoning him with cookies.
Disgusting. IMO

 

[Charlot123]

We don't know that Don didn't tell his wife about it. I'm not suggesting that Ian and Heather knew about Erin poisoning Simon.

Even if they had a suspicion, no one would expect Erin to poison the whole brigade, IMHO. We humans make the same mistake, we think that the people adhere to our logic. “Simon will refuse, and surely she is not after us”. By the time people realize that the perpetrators’s logic is very different, it is too late. In fact, even attempts to poison Simon might indicate a deep flaw in Erin’s mentality, IMHO.

Does Erin realize that she totally ruined the lives of her children? Or is she still preoccupied with getting out on a technicality and poisoning Simon?

 

[iamshadow21]

Trying to imagine school age children being trotted out to a prison to visit the murderer of their grandparents.

It happens. Especially with manipulative female offenders. Some people seem to think children need contact with the absolute worst human beings simply because of biology. And then wonder why those kids grow up with major damage from that continuing contact.

Whatever is happening, I hope everyone is getting therapy.

MOO

 

[drsleuth]

Whatever is happening, I hope everyone is getting therapy.

I struggle to see how any type of meaningful therapy would help these poor children.

Their mother planned, calculated & carried out murdering their grandparents & aunt & allegedly tried numerous times to also murder their father. She has shown no remorse. Even threw the children under the bus when on the stand.

How in the hell do these children get thru this?? I hope she has NO contact with them & by some miracle they can begin to heal, how I have no clue. I also hope that Ali also has no contact with them.

Therapy can give them tools and support to process what they're going through with the guidance of a trained, uninvolved adult.

The other option is they get no support, or only get support from family members struggling to process their own trauma.

MOO

 

[Deleted member 363451]

Actually, with the cookies is 5. I detailed it on the last thread. 4 meals + the cookies.

Yes, you're right. The Daily Mail got it wrong...

 

[Penny68]

Erin's children, her son born in 2009 (16 yrs) and her daughter born in 2014 (11 yrs).

All everyone can hope and pray they will get all the support that they need and more when they get to thinking more of what their mother did.

They had their routine of life until their mum was taken into custody, November 2023. All their little world was changed literally over night.

My heart aches for them.

 

[Tortoise]

It almost seems criminal to me that a state can drop charges which means that a victim of crime can't get justice. Simon is entitled to justice, if only for the trauma to his body. IMO

I really think that they would benefit from some professional therapy. After my brother was murdered, my nephew was taken to see a psychologist and she said that he was too young to process it and to get him into sport and take him back when he was older if it was felt that he needed it...
