The New South Wales attorney general has ordered a second public inquiry into the conviction of the woman dubbed “Australia’s worst female serial killer”, amid claims that new scientific evidence could clear Kathleen Folbigg over the deaths of her four children.
On Wednesday the NSW attorney general, Mark Speakman, announced the inquiry would consider whether there was “question or doubt” over her conviction in 2003 for the murder of three of her children and the manslaughter of a fourth.
