The story of the mother who went to prison for the death of her 4 babies and is probably innocent

Kathleen Folbigg was a mother who gave birth to 4 children and then saw each of them die of natural causes as a baby, over a period of 10 years.

However, they accused her of drowning them and sentenced her to 30 years in prison. But it was killer;

A new case now wants the “worst woman serial killer of Australia “, as she was called in her 2003 trial, to be completely innocent. Folbigg has already spent 18 years in prison when she was found guilty of killing her 4 children.

Only today new scientific data are ready to overturn the hypothesis. Just last week, 90 distinguished scientists signed a paper handed over to the New South Wales government, requesting her immediate release.

Experts talk about a legal gap that exists between science and law and was what led to her conviction. A judicial committee that, however, re-examined her case in 2019, concluded again that she was the perpetrator.

Experts believe that there are reasonable suspicions that she is not guilty. “Science is crucial here and can not be ignored,” says Professor Jozef Gecz.

Academic Fiona Stanley claims something similar: “It is very worrying that medical and scientific evidence has been ignored, preferring symptomatic indications. We now have an alternative explanation for the death of Folbigg’s children. “

The explanation they say is the recent discovery of a genetic mutation by Kathleen Folbigg and her two daughters, which they describe as “probably pathological” and believe to have been the cause of the deaths of the two girls.

From a second mutation Both boys died, although there is no good case here at the moment.

All eyes are on the case…
