Folbigg was jailed in 2003 on three counts of murder and one of manslaughter following the deaths of her four babies over a decade from 1989.
As recently as 2019, an inquiry into her convictions found there was no reasonable doubt she had committed the crimes.
But another inquiry began last year after new scientific evidence emerged that provided a genetic explanation for the children’s deaths.
Examination of the babies’ remains failed to find any physical evidence they’d been suffocated, but without another plausible reasons to explain their deaths, suspicion focused on Folbigg.
During Folbigg’s 2003 trial, the prosecution used “coincidence and tendency” evidence to allege that Folbigg had also killed Caleb.
