Erin Patterson has lost her appeal against her murder convictions over the deaths of three relatives who ate beef Wellingtons that contained death cap mushrooms.

A separate appeal by the prosecution to impose a harsher sentence was upheld and Patterson will be re-sentenced.

The decision today by the Court of Appeal means it is likely Patterson will die in jail.
