Convicted baby-killer Kathleen Folbigg loses bid to overturn the findings of a judicial inquiry that reinforced her guilt over the deaths of her four young children.

Convicted baby-killer Kathleen Folbigg has lost her bid to overturn the findings of a judicial inquiry that reinforced her guilt over the deaths of her four young children.The 53-year-old was sentenced to at least 25 years jail in 2003 over the manslaughter of her first child Caleb and the murder of three others, Sarah, Patrick and Laura.

Kathleen Folbigg was found guilty by a jury in 2003 for the manslaughter of one and murder of three of her children. The evidence involved gene sequencing showing two of the children had a genetic mutation that could have caused Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. In seeking to have the findings of the judicial review overturned, Folbigg's legal team argued that the judge "did not engage" with the consequences of the medical evidence and its impact on reasonable doubt.In the judgement delivered, the Court of Appeal found "this was not a case in which the judicial officer's conclusion was at odds with the scientific evidence".
