Gore Weekly: Katherine Knight
Nusrat Jahan Progga
There is something eerie about twins- they just yell creepy! Katherine Knight, a younger twin, is convinced that the spirit of her uncle who committed suicide in 1969 still visits her. However, that’s not the scary bit about her life.
Up till the age of 11, Knight claimed to be sexually abused by various family members and her mother’s partner.
In a high school, she was a loner and a bully. But on her good days, she was an ideal student who won many awards. She left school at the age of 15, and twelve months later she started what she called her “dream job” where cut offal. She was promoted to boning very soon and was even awarded her own set of butcher knives. She had a habit of hanging her knives on top of her bed, because she believed that they would come in handy one day.
Knight’s first relationship was with a man called Kellett. Pregnant, Knight once burned all of Kellett’s clothing and shoes before hitting the back of his head with a frying pan, just because he came home a bit late from the finals of a dart competition. Kellett’s severely fractured skull was treated before he ran away. A few weeks later, Knight slashed the face of a woman, demanding her to drive her to Queensland to find Kellett.
After Kellett, Knight started dating Saunders. She apparently slit the throat of his two month old puppy which was to serve as an example of what would happen to him if he were cheating, before hitting him with a frying pan as well. After giving birth to his children, Saunders bought a house which Knight had decorated with animal skins, skulls, horns, rusty traps, machetes, rakes and pitchforks. Even the ceiling was adorned with Knight’s creepy taste in décor.
After a fight where Knight stabbed Saunders with a scissor, he went into hiding. When Saunders came back, he found out that Knight had told the police that she was afraid of him which led them to file an Apprehended Violence order against him.
Knight’s final relationship was with John Price. The relationship was apparently great at first despite Knight’s troubling past and the occasional fights.
In 2000, after a stabbing incident, Price had kicked Knight out of his house and filed a restraining order a few weeks later.
Knight crept into Price’s house one night while he was sleeping, and watched TV before taking a shower and waking him up for sex.
The next day, the police broke down the door to find an overdosed Knight on top of Prince’s remains. Yes, remains! She had stabbed Price with a butcher’s knife while he was sleeping. According to Price’s autopsy, he was severely stabbed with a butcher knife about 37 times. Knight then skinned him and hung his skin on a meat hook, after which she decapitated him and cooked parts of his body. She placed two servings of his meat with different vegetables and notes that had his children’s name on it. Price’s head was found in a pot with vegetables.
With the inability to think of a proper ending, I will simply stop now to take this all in.
Ciao for now readers! Untill we meet again!
