Katherine Knight is a former abattoir worker from Australia who became infamous for committing one of the most gruesome murders in the country's history. Born on October 24, 1955, Knight's life was marked by a history of violence and turbulent relationships.
The crime for which she gained notoriety occurred in February 2000, when she murdered her partner, John Charles Thomas Price, in Aberdeen, New South Wales. The murder was particularly brutal; after stabbing Price multiple times, she skinned him and cooked parts of his body, allegedly preparing to serve them to his children. The details of the crime scene were so horrific that they shocked even experienced investigators.
Katherine Knight was arrested shortly after the murder and later confessed to her crime. In 2001, she was sentenced to life imprisonment without the possibility of parole, becoming the first woman in Australian history to receive this sentence. Her case drew significant media attention due to the shockingly graphic nature of the murder and has been the subject of various true crime documentaries and discussions.
Knight's background includes a troubled childhood and a history of violent behavior in her personal relationships. Reports indicate that she suffered from mental health issues, which may have contributed to her violent tendencies. Despite her claims of suffering a blackout during the crime, the court found her accountable due to the premeditated and systematic way the murder was carried out.
Katherine Knight is currently incarcerated at Silverwater Women's Correctional Centre in New South Wales, where she serves her life sentence.
