A woman who was branded Australia's worst female serial killer has been pardoned after spending 20 years behind bars for killing her four children, which she has always denied.
Kathleen Folbigg, 55, was convicted of murdering kids Patrick, Sarah and Laura, and the manslaughter of her first child Caleb, who all died between 1989 and 1999. The Mirror reports that she has continually maintained her innocence.
Following several appeals and inquiries an Australian judge has pardoned her. Recent finds from two Danish experts claimed her kids carried a genetic disease which caused heart irregularities; her lawyers had hoped to prove the children died of natural causes.
