Beyond Bad; The Life and Crimes of Katherine Knight, Australia's Hannibal

Bantam, Sydney, 2002. Reprint. softcover. Very Good Condition/No Dust Jacket. Swinging from a meat-hook, his entire skin was in one piece including his hair, face, ears, nose, mouth and genitals. Slashes and stab holes tore through the human pelt, a testimony to the wounds he suffered before dying. Cruel and evil, Katherine Knight showed no mercy when she butchered her de facto in a crime that put her behind bars in an Australian prison for a record life sentence. Beyond Bad is the shocking true story of Knight and her crimes - the ritual slaying and skinning of her de facto for a cannibal feast. Knight, a 44-year-old abattoir worker, stabbed father-of-three John Price 37 times, skinned his body, cooked his head, and served him up as a meal for his children. Drawing on first-hand accounts, Beyond Bad tells what motivated Knight to commit such a heinous act and how it rocked the small town she lived in. This is a horrifying story of love, lust, revenge and murder - all the more shocking because it really happened in Australia. -- rear panel blurb Size: 12mo (standard paperback). 320 pages.
