In the last few moments, Victoria Police have released a statement acknowledging the jury's decision.

"Our thoughts are with the respective families at this time and we acknowledge how difficult these past two years have been for them," a spokesperson said.

"We will continue to support them in every way possible following this decision.

"We would also like to acknowledge the work of Homicide Squad detectives over the course of this complex investigation, as well as the significant support received from a number of other areas across Victoria Police.

"The Patterson and Wilkinson families will not be issuing a statement, police said, and have requested privacy.

Detective Stephen Eppingstall, the lead informant who charged Erin Patterson with triple-murder charges, exited the court a short time ago.

He declined to provide a statement to media.

Police are expected to make further comments in the coming hour, which we will bring to you as it unfolds.
