Overview
- Reports recount that Knight stabbed Price more than 37 times, beheaded and skinned him, and hung his body from a meat hook inside their Aberdeen, New South Wales home.
- Police were alerted after neighbors noticed blood at the front door, forced entry, found Price’s remains, and discovered Knight unconscious after ingesting tablets.
- Articles describe body parts found cooking and a note written in blood accusing Price of rape, with investigators later determining the accusation was baseless.
- Background highlighted includes Knight’s abattoir experience and history of violence, with a neighbor describing her as a very proficient meatworker, and Price having previously sought a restraining order.
- Knight pleaded guilty and in 2001 received life in prison without the possibility of parole, the first such sentence for an Australian woman, with the judge calling the killing an act of extreme brutality.
