Woman who cooked partner’s flesh for children loses appeal

Katherine Mary Knight, 48, was given a life sentence after she pleaded guilty to murdering her partner, John Price, at their home in Aberdeen, 60 miles north-west of Sydney, in February 2000.

Knight stabbed 44-year-old Mr Price 37 times with a butcher’s knife before removing his skin and hanging it from a meat hook in the couple’s living room. She then cut off his head and put it in a pot on the stove, and baked flesh from his buttocks along with vegetables and gravy to serve to his adult children.
