Kathleen Folbigg is an Australian woman who was wrongfully convicted in 2003 of murdering her four infant children.
She was pardoned in 2023 after 20 years in jail following a long campaign for justice by her supporters, and had her convictions overturned on appeal a few months later.
No direct evidence of the imputed crimes was ever found, but in the personal diary discovered by her husband and dutifully handed over to the police, several entries seemed to suggest she might have harmed, and indeed murdered, her children.
She was arrested in 2001 and convicted in 2003, sentenced to 40 years with a non-parole period of 30 years.
Kathleen Folbigg maintained her innocence, however, claiming the four children had died from natural causes.
