Delving into Erin Patterson's background reveals insights into her psychological makeup and potential motives for the mushroom murders, exploring the contrast between her claims of a difficult childhood and her family's actual history.

Will this get us any closer to determining a motive for her mushroom murders?

• War hero grandfather – Erin's maternal grandfather Victor Ray Cameron received recognition for gallant and distinguished services in WWII
• Academic mother – Dr. Heather Scutter was a respected academic who specialised in children's literature
• Family contradictions – Despite Erin claiming a cold upbringing "like a Russian orphanage," colleagues describe her mother as smart and well-liked
• Understanding Erin Patterson – Psychological concept of an "injustice collector" helps explain her disproportionate responses to perceived wrongs
• Calculated crimes – the Mushroom Murders weren't random but products of obsession, intellect and precision
• Erin Patterson Sentencing update – Life imprisonment likely with a non-parole period to be determined by Justice Christopher Beale
