Kathleen Folbigg weds childhood friend in Newcastle as she starts new chapter after two decades in jail over the deaths of her four children
Kathleen Folbigg has married her childhood friend Bob Muir at Fort Scratchley in Newcastle, in what the article presents as a significant personal milestone after her convictions over the deaths of her four children were overturned. Her release in 2023 followed scientific evidence that created reasonable doubt, ending two decades in prison and allowing her to begin a new phase of life.
Folbigg wore a strapless beaded gown, while Muir wore a black suit with an iris on the lapel; their bridal party wore navy dresses. The couple have known each other since they were 11, and Muir previously said they had faced negative publicity. Folbigg later received A$2 million compensation from the New South Wales government following her exoneration.
