Katherine Knight Cannibal Killer Who Cooked & Feed Children With Their Dad Meats
On February 29, 2000, 45-year-old Australian woman Katherine Knight decided to do the unthinkable. After a series of physical assaults against her husband John Price, Knight’s reign of terror culminated with her stabbing Price in the chest. While it may sound like a textbook example of mariticide, the circumstances surrounding the murder were way more disturbing. On the day of the murder, afraid that Knight might hurt his kids, Price took out a restraining order in an attempt to keep his wife away from the house. That afternoon, Price told his co-workers that if he did not come to work the next day, it would be because his wife had murdered him. Little did he know, Price had just predicted his unfortunate fate. Later that night, Katherine Knight entered Price’s house and woke him up for sex, after which he fell asleep. Katherine then took one of her recently sharpened knives and stabbed Price over 37 times. But Knight didn’t stop there; otherwise, she wouldn’t be one of the most notorious killers in Australian history. After Price had died, Knight used her skills from the slaughterhouse to completely skin her husband. She then decapitated the body and dumped the head into a pot with vegetables in it. Knight cooked up a few parts of his body and placed it on two plates, alongside a serving of baked potato, vegetables, and gravy. She put two name cards with the names of John’s children. Then, she positioned the rest of his body on the victim’s favorite chair and crossed his legs. When police entered the crime scene, officers got the shock of a lifetime. The victim’s skin was hanging from a butcher’s hook in the lounge room, his head was on the stove, and slices of his buttocks had been still lying on the table as a meal intended for his children. Knight initially pleaded not guilty, claiming that she remembered nothing from that night. However, later she changed her plea to guilty but has not admitted to the crime. Because of Knight’s grotesque actions and lack of remorse, the judge sentenced Knight to life imprisonment without the possibility of parole, making her the first and only woman in Australian history to receive that sentence. #KatherineKnight #TrueCrimes #CrimeDetective #CannibalKiller
