Fifteen years after being gaoled for killing her four children, the NSW Attorney General has ordered an inquiry into the convictions of former Singleton mother, Kathleen Folbigg.
She is currently serving a 30 year sentence with a non-parole period of 25 years in Cessnock Gaol.
Kathleen Folbigg has always maintained her four children, Caleb, Patrick, Sarah and Laura died over a ten year period from natural causes.
A team from the University of Newcastle Legal Centre petitioned the NSW Governor for an inquiry, arguing there was a lack of evidence showing the infants were suffocated.
Attorney General, Mark Speakman says there is sufficient cause for concern to warrant an inquiry.
"The petition appears to raise a question of the evidence that led to Ms Folbigg's convictions in 2003. That question concerns evidence as to the incidence of reported deaths of three or more infants in the same family attributable to unidentified causes," he said.
