Child killer Kathleen Folbigg wants another judicial inquiry into her convictions over the deaths of her four children after the head of a high-profile review this year concluded he'd found evidence that "reinforces her guilt", according to reporting by Fairfax Media on Thursday morning.
Folbigg, 51, was jailed for 25 years in 2003 for the murders of Patrick, Sarah and Laura, and for the manslaughter of Caleb - all aged between 19 days and 18 months when they died over a 10-year period between February 1989 to March 1999.
In September, Ms Folbigg lost her last hope of overturning convictions for the killing of her four babies after NSW Governor Margaret Beazley accepted the findings of an inquiry that found she was guilty of the crimes.
NSW Attorney-General Mark Speakman said Governor Beazley, on August 7, accepted Executive Council advice that no further action be taken after an inquiry final report on July 22 said new evidence reinforced Ms Folbigg's guilt. The Executive Council included at least two Cabinet ministers.
The inquiry in April and May followed a University of Newcastle Legal Centre petition to the then NSW Governor David Hurley in 2015 after investigations raising doubt about evidence used to convict her of the crimes in 2003.
