Kathleen Folbigg (b. 1967) was made a Ward of the State when she was 18 months old, after the murder of her mother by her father. At age 3 she was moved from foster care into a children's home and then into a more permanent foster care placement. In 2003, Folbigg was wrongly convicted of murdering three infant children, and the manslaughter of the fourth.
She was pardoned in 2023 and her convictions overturned a few months later.
After spending decades in jail, a scientist working in a lab uncovered the truth behind the deaths.
Research published in 2020 to 90 scientists & medical professionals to petition the NSW Governor to pardon Folbigg.
