About the Author Hood has worked extensively in theatre, television and radio.
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. 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. Slashes and stab holes tore through the human pelt, a testimony to the wounds he suffered before dying. 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. 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. This is a horrifying story of love, lust, revenge and murder - all the more shocking because it really happened in Australia.. Swinging from a meat-hook, his entire skin was in one piece including his hair, face, ears, nose, mouth and genitals
Fact definately is more chilling than fiction Imagine stirring out of a drowsy sleep in the middle of the night to see the silhouette of someone holding a large knife standing in the doorway and just staring at you. This was what Katherine Knight's husband John Price experienced shortly before she actually did murder and cut him up.I read this book soon after its release a few years ago and the word chilling hardly describes it. There was talk later of Knights story being put on film and titled "The Speckled Hen" which was what the men of the district had come to call her. Red headed and freckled Katherine Knight had started work in the Aberdeen meatworks no. Stomach Turning Set in Australia, Beyond Bad tells the horrifying story of Katharine Knight also knows as Kathy the Cannibal. She was the first woman in Australia to be sentenced to life without parole. Her crime? She slaughtered her lover by not only stabbing him 37 times, she then went on to skin him, decapitate him and cook his remains into a stew that she was planning on feeding his children. If anyone received a just sentence it was her. To this day she has never expressed one iota of remorse.I dont know if like is the right word to use to express my feelings about such a horrible crime book. I think the book was very well . "Top class analysis" according to B. S. Reece. I'm currently up to CD number 8 in this 10-CD(!) unabridged audio book. Exhaustive in its research, chilling in its recall, Beyond Bad gets inside all of the relationships of the notorious Katherine Knight, not just her tragic final one. Sandra Lee talks to ex-lovers, family members, psychologists and more in search of answers to questions that are almost too unspeakable to ask. First class journalism and highly recommended.
