Who are Erin Patterson and the other key figures in Australia’s mushroom murders trial?

The mushroom paste was contained in a vial about 2cm wide and 5cm high, with the exhibit name EX X1 Z13.

The paste was taken from inside a beef wellington, which in turn was taken from inside a paper bag found in a wheelie bin outside Erin Patterson’s home.
