Notorious Singleton child killer, Kathleen Folbigg will remain behind bars after losing the final avenue of appeal against her convictions for killing her four babies.
The 52-year-old is serving a 30 year sentence for killing her four children Patrick, Laura, Sarah and Caleb between 1989 and 1999.
In 2015 her lawyer lodged a petition casting doubt over some of the evidence used to convict her, prompting NSW Attorney General, Mark Speakman to order an inquiry.
Former NSW District Court Chief Judge, Reginald Blanch chaired the inquiry which began hearing submissions and evidence in March.
Mr Blanch has now released a 557-page report following the conclusion of the inquiry.
He found the inquiry produced evidence which reinforced Folbigg's guilt and that he does not have "any reasonable doubt as to the guilt of Kathleen Megan Folbigg for the offences of which she was convicted".
Mr Blanch's report went on to say that "I find that Ms Folbigg's untruthfulness to the police and in the evidence she gave before the Inquiry was a deliberate attempt to obscure the fact that she committed the offences of which she was convicted."
He also found Folbigg's explanations concerning incriminating diary entries at the times of her babies' deaths to be "simply unbelievable".
Attorney General, Mark Speakman says he has spoken to Folbigg's former husband, Craig about the report and acknowledged the inquiry has further aggravated what already was "an unimaginable tragedy", saying he was sorry for the toll the inquiry has taken on Mr Follbigg and family members over the past year.
Kathleen Folbigg will continue serving her 30 year sentence and will be eligible for parole in 2028 at the conclusion of her 25 year non-parole period.
