Two genetic experts told an inquiry in Sydney on Tuesday that a rare genetic mutation probably caused the deaths of two daughters of an Australian woman who was convicted of killing them.

Professor Mette Nyegaard, left, and Professor Michael Toft Overgaard return from a break for the second inquiry into Kathleen Folbigg's convictions for killing four of her children in Sydney, Australia, Tuesday, Nov. 15, 2022. The two genetic experts have told an inquiry that a rare genetic variant likely caused the deaths of two daughters of an Australian convicted child killer.

Folbigg, now 55, was found guilty in 2003 of three charges of murder and one of manslaughter. But growing numbers of scientists are convinced that recent genetic breakthroughs have created reasonable doubt of her guilt. The variant, CALM2-G114R, which was discovered nine years after Folbigg’s convictions, can cause heart arrhythmias and sudden death in young children.Nyegaard agreed, saying, “It Iooks like a bad variant.”Caleb was born in 1989 and died 19 days later in what a jury determined to be the lesser crime of manslaughter. Her second child, Patrick, was 8 months old when he died in 1991. Two years later, Sarah died at 10 months. In 1999, Folbigg’s fourth child, Laura, died at 19 months.
