Friends and supporters of Kathleen Folbigg have grave concerns for her safety after she was reportedly bashed by a fellow inmate in a horrific attack within days of transferring to another jail.
The woman considered as Australia's worst female serial killer and 'most hated woman' was jailed in 2003 for the murders of her children Patrick, Sarah and Laura - aged from eight months to 19 months - between 1991 and 1999.
She was also found guilty of the manslaughter of her first-born child, Caleb, who was just 19 days old when he died in Newcastle in 1989.
Folbigg, 53 has maintained her innocence and now has the support of dozens of scientists and medical experts who have called for her to be pardoned from her 30-year jail term.
