About this episode
“Like a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma, a Beef Wellington is a tenderloin or fillet wrapped in a layer of mushrooms, inside puff pastry.”
That’s how writer Chloe Hooper begins to describe the events that have put a 48-year-old woman at the centre of international attention.
The mysterious case of the suspected death cap mushroom poisoning has left three people in regional Victoria dead – and an international audience wondering how it happened.
Today, contributor to The Saturday Paper Chloe Hooper on what’s known about the case and why stories like this are so hard to resist.
