Kathleen Folbigg was found guilty of the murder of her four babies.
Folbigg, aged 36, was found guilty of killing Caleb, Patrick, Sarah and Laura, who were aged between 19 days and 19 months.
The first killing occurred in 1989 and the last in 1999. Two of the deaths were attributed to sudden infant death syndrome, one to an epileptic fit and another cause of death was undetermined. Justice Barr sentenced Folbigg to 40 years, with a non-parole period of 30 years.
Folbigg successfully appealed against the length of sentence, having it reduced to 30 years with a non-parole period of 25 years. Folbigg’s appeal to the High Court was refused on 2 September 2005
