Kathleen Megan Folbigg is an Australian woman who was convicted of murdering her three infant children, Patrick Allen , Sarah Kathleen and Laura Elizabeth. She was also convicted of the manslaughter of her fourth child, Caleb Gibson. The deaths took place between 1989 and 1999. Her husband contacted the police after discovering her personal diary.Folbigg is presently imprisoned, sentenced to thirty years, twenty-five years no parole.
Folbigg maintains her innocence, claiming the four children died from natural causes.
Scientific and medical research suggesting the daughters may have died of natural causes was rejected by a judicial inquiry in 2019. Subsequent research published in 2020 has led ninety prominent Australian scientists and medical professionals, in March 2021, to petition the NSW Governor to pardon Folbigg, alleging all the deaths may be explained with genetics.
