00:00:00.480 --> 00:00:01.720
Side for True Crime Tuesday.
2
00:00:03.439 --> 00:00:06.639
The story is true, sounds true?
3
00:00:07.480 --> 00:00:09.599
No, it sounds made up. I don't know.
4
00:00:11.720 --> 00:00:17.199
Parry and Shannon present Crime. All right, this is a warning.
5
00:00:17.760 --> 00:00:23.399
This is a pretty violent story. This is the story
6
00:00:23.519 --> 00:00:26.719
of Catherine Knight and just to let you know how
7
00:00:26.760 --> 00:00:30.160
it ends, she was the first woman in the history
8
00:00:30.359 --> 00:00:36.719
of Australia to be sentenced to life in prison. She's
9
00:00:36.759 --> 00:00:40.719
she had severe issues from go.
10
00:00:41.240 --> 00:00:43.799
Can I have some nice music to start this story?
11
00:00:43.840 --> 00:00:45.880
I don't even know what I don't even.
12
00:00:45.759 --> 00:00:49.399
Know what's music. It started off nice, just like every relationship.
13
00:00:50.640 --> 00:00:55.119
Catherine Knight and John Price seemed to be the perfect couple, bubbly,
14
00:00:55.479 --> 00:01:04.280
charming and adored by each other's children. But the relationship
15
00:01:04.359 --> 00:01:14.359
quickly descended into chaos as Katherine stabbed John thirty seven
16
00:01:14.439 --> 00:01:21.599
times into capito. Well it started nice, bubbly, charming and adored.
17
00:01:26.439 --> 00:01:27.159
I don't even know.
18
00:01:29.120 --> 00:01:31.079
Okay, let's back it up, all right, please shall we?
19
00:01:31.239 --> 00:01:31.480
Yes?
20
00:01:32.799 --> 00:01:35.120
She was born Catherine was Can I get back my
21
00:01:35.200 --> 00:01:39.519
nice music? Oh? Catherine was born and raised in Moore.
22
00:01:40.359 --> 00:01:44.439
It was a dysfunctional family which one isn't which saw
23
00:01:44.480 --> 00:01:47.079
her mother Barbara cheat on her father Jack with his
24
00:01:47.159 --> 00:01:52.719
coworker and friend, Kenneth. It's just kids stuff, Bob. She
25
00:01:52.879 --> 00:01:57.640
had seven She had seven siblings. She was a twin
26
00:02:00.159 --> 00:02:07.719
and oh, this is really dark. I don't know if
27
00:02:07.719 --> 00:02:08.039
I can.
28
00:02:08.199 --> 00:02:08.919
She was abused.
29
00:02:09.000 --> 00:02:18.039
She was abused, Yeah, by several family members. It's you
30
00:02:18.439 --> 00:02:21.360
cut the good music. Yeah, no, actually, no good parts
31
00:02:21.479 --> 00:02:24.439
of this story anyway. Apart from her twin sister, the
32
00:02:24.439 --> 00:02:27.479
only person she was Catherine was close to within her
33
00:02:27.520 --> 00:02:30.840
family was her uncle Oscar Knight, who was a champion horseman,
34
00:02:30.879 --> 00:02:32.919
by the way, and then he killed himself.
35
00:02:34.000 --> 00:02:36.439
She got into high school, she was known as a loner.
36
00:02:37.479 --> 00:02:40.039
She was known as a bully actually that would prey
37
00:02:40.039 --> 00:02:43.280
on the younger kids. She assaulted at least one boy
38
00:02:43.319 --> 00:02:46.599
at school with a weapon, was once left injured by
39
00:02:46.639 --> 00:02:49.199
a teacher, but it turns out that the teacher was
40
00:02:49.199 --> 00:02:53.960
simply defending themselves against her. When she left school at
41
00:02:53.960 --> 00:02:56.680
the age of fifteen, she couldn't read. She couldn't write.
42
00:02:57.199 --> 00:03:00.599
She got a job as a cutter in a clothing factory.
43
00:03:00.680 --> 00:03:03.800
She was promoted pretty remember that pr Yeah, she was
44
00:03:03.840 --> 00:03:08.199
promoted pretty quickly. Given her own set of butcher's knives,
45
00:03:08.240 --> 00:03:11.759
in fact, which she kept strapped to the ceiling above
46
00:03:11.800 --> 00:03:18.240
her bed. Guys, guys, quick little psa on life. If
47
00:03:18.280 --> 00:03:21.080
you hook up with a woman, a girl, anyone, and
48
00:03:21.360 --> 00:03:23.400
they've got a set up butcher knives strapped to the
49
00:03:23.439 --> 00:03:26.080
ceiling above their bed, No sex is worth that.
50
00:03:26.599 --> 00:03:30.240
She This job that she had as at the local
51
00:03:30.280 --> 00:03:36.800
abbatois what's an fancy word for slaughterhouse? Okay, that's that's
52
00:03:36.840 --> 00:03:41.680
how she was making money and stayed in that job
53
00:03:41.800 --> 00:03:46.039
until she was eventually put behind bars. She married back
54
00:03:46.039 --> 00:03:50.080
in nineteen seventy three, first first marriage. He was a
55
00:03:50.120 --> 00:03:52.879
heavy drinker. They met while they were working at the
56
00:03:52.879 --> 00:03:56.240
slaughterhouse before they tied the knot in a drunken ceremony
57
00:03:56.840 --> 00:03:57.319
a year.
58
00:03:57.280 --> 00:04:00.599
Later, Catherine's mom said to the soon to be husband
59
00:04:00.599 --> 00:04:03.120
at the ceremony, you better watch this one or she'll
60
00:04:03.120 --> 00:04:07.199
e fin kill you, stir up the wrong way or
61
00:04:07.240 --> 00:04:07.960
do the wrong thing.
62
00:04:08.039 --> 00:04:10.800
In year f that's very similar to what my mother
63
00:04:10.840 --> 00:04:12.439
in law told me on my wedding day.
64
00:04:12.759 --> 00:04:18.240
Is it really on their wedding night, Michelle, excuse me not, Michelle,
65
00:04:18.519 --> 00:04:23.160
Catherine tried to strangle her husband yeap, later explaining it
66
00:04:23.199 --> 00:04:30.079
was because he fell asleep after only having sex three times. Guys,
67
00:04:31.000 --> 00:04:32.360
never mind are the red flags?
68
00:04:32.360 --> 00:04:36.040
Is that what you're saying? I mean, I don't know.
69
00:04:36.120 --> 00:04:38.600
I mean that's a real ding dong, isn't it? Is
70
00:04:38.600 --> 00:04:40.839
that a plus or a minus? Like your wife's pissed
71
00:04:40.839 --> 00:04:42.319
off at you because you only want to go out
72
00:04:42.360 --> 00:04:43.079
it three times.
73
00:04:43.560 --> 00:04:47.360
In one of their fights, she smashed him in the
74
00:04:47.360 --> 00:04:49.959
head with a frying pan because he got home late
75
00:04:50.079 --> 00:04:53.279
after a dart competition when he reached the finals.
76
00:04:53.839 --> 00:04:56.879
The detail of this story is incredible now is.
77
00:04:57.160 --> 00:04:59.199
None of this is the crime that put her in
78
00:04:59.279 --> 00:05:04.319
jail for life without parole. But then again, I'm.
79
00:05:04.160 --> 00:05:07.480
Sorry, Like, that's sad. Arrived home late from a darts
80
00:05:07.519 --> 00:05:10.560
competition after he reached the final, so he didn't even
81
00:05:10.600 --> 00:05:10.959
win it.
82
00:05:11.079 --> 00:05:11.800
He didn't even win.
83
00:05:12.600 --> 00:05:13.279
That sucks.
84
00:05:13.480 --> 00:05:16.199
Maybe that's what it was had he come back with
85
00:05:16.240 --> 00:05:16.759
a trophy.
86
00:05:16.879 --> 00:05:19.000
This is like when you come home from fantasy camp.
87
00:05:19.920 --> 00:05:21.120
And all I am is sore.
88
00:05:21.720 --> 00:05:24.920
Yeah, we are in the middle of True Crime Tuesday
89
00:05:24.959 --> 00:05:28.399
and we're talking about Catherine Knight. Where we left off. Well,
90
00:05:28.519 --> 00:05:32.439
Catherine had a rough go of things right out the
91
00:05:32.480 --> 00:05:37.120
shoot there as well. She had an awful childhood, sexually
92
00:05:37.120 --> 00:05:40.000
abused by different men in her family throughout her childhood,
93
00:05:40.040 --> 00:05:44.079
troubled relationships without men or with men throughout her adult life,
94
00:05:44.680 --> 00:05:48.519
many many, many red flags. None were heated. There is
95
00:05:48.560 --> 00:05:51.480
a book written about Catherine, by the way, it's called Bloodstains,
96
00:05:52.399 --> 00:05:56.360
and it all came to a head in a murder
97
00:05:56.399 --> 00:06:00.360
in two thousand and one. But up until that point,
98
00:06:00.480 --> 00:06:03.240
she was a bully. We talked about how she beat
99
00:06:03.279 --> 00:06:05.720
people up at school. She tried to strangle her first
100
00:06:05.800 --> 00:06:08.040
husband on their wedding night because he didn't want to
101
00:06:08.040 --> 00:06:11.279
have sex more than three times. Later, fractured his skull
102
00:06:11.319 --> 00:06:16.639
with a frying pan, killed another partner's dog, and stabbed
103
00:06:16.680 --> 00:06:20.839
him with a pair of scissors. A former detective says
104
00:06:21.240 --> 00:06:24.040
she was a horror movie in the making, to which
105
00:06:24.120 --> 00:06:26.720
I say, that's a pretty solid horror movie up until
106
00:06:26.759 --> 00:06:27.519
that point, right.
107
00:06:27.680 --> 00:06:31.680
Yeah. She eventually begins an affair with a John Price
108
00:06:32.839 --> 00:06:35.879
before nineteen eighty eight, when his marriage ended. She later
109
00:06:35.920 --> 00:06:39.680
moved into his house in nineteen ninety five. He was
110
00:06:39.720 --> 00:06:43.160
aware of her reputation. I'm going to repeat that, he
111
00:06:43.240 --> 00:06:47.279
was aware of her violent reputation and decided to look
112
00:06:47.319 --> 00:06:47.839
the other way.
113
00:06:47.959 --> 00:06:52.959
Sometimes crazy women there the craziest.
114
00:06:53.240 --> 00:06:56.879
He refused to marry her, and she tried to force
115
00:06:57.000 --> 00:07:02.319
him by apparently recording him videotape him the stuff that
116
00:07:02.360 --> 00:07:05.079
he had stolen from work, and then sending that videotape
117
00:07:05.079 --> 00:07:07.480
to the boss. He even said at one point he
118
00:07:07.519 --> 00:07:10.000
was so worried about her he told his co workers,
119
00:07:10.360 --> 00:07:13.360
if I don't show up to work tomorrow, call the cops.
120
00:07:13.920 --> 00:07:17.120
Guess what. He didn't show up to work the next day.
121
00:07:17.240 --> 00:07:20.839
Neighbors found the officers the next morning. This was March first,
122
00:07:20.839 --> 00:07:25.040
two thousand. Why well, there were blood stains on the
123
00:07:25.079 --> 00:07:29.560
couple's front door. Police show up, They go inside, and
124
00:07:29.600 --> 00:07:34.000
they find this guy not as lucky as the first husband. No,
125
00:07:34.519 --> 00:07:39.120
they find his body mutilated inside the home. She's found
126
00:07:39.160 --> 00:07:43.680
passed out nearby. Why would you fall asleep? She took
127
00:07:43.720 --> 00:07:44.639
a bunch of pills.
128
00:07:44.680 --> 00:07:48.279
No, no, no him, She stabbed him at first while
129
00:07:48.319 --> 00:07:51.920
he was sleeping. You already know that what you're living with,
130
00:07:52.519 --> 00:07:55.360
and you know you've just told everybody because you took
131
00:07:55.360 --> 00:07:58.040
a restraining order out on her and told your coworkers
132
00:07:58.519 --> 00:08:00.879
this might be the end of it. Can you fall asleep?
133
00:08:01.199 --> 00:08:04.160
Sergeant Robert Wells was one of the first on the scene.
134
00:08:04.199 --> 00:08:06.399
He says, by the time I got there, Catherine was
135
00:08:06.480 --> 00:08:09.160
leaving in an ambulance. She had taken enough pills, not
136
00:08:09.319 --> 00:08:11.120
enough to kill her, but enough to make her sleep.
137
00:08:12.000 --> 00:08:16.680
Sergeant Robert Wells says, I walked inside. I walked inside
138
00:08:16.720 --> 00:08:21.360
and saw the human skin pelt hanging up, completely intact,
139
00:08:21.480 --> 00:08:22.399
in one piece.
140
00:08:22.519 --> 00:08:25.279
Again. Remember she worked at a slaughterhouse, so she knew
141
00:08:25.319 --> 00:08:26.040
how to do this.
142
00:08:26.360 --> 00:08:30.560
John Price's decapitated and skinned body was lying on the
143
00:08:30.639 --> 00:08:35.320
floor in the lounge room. We found his head. It
144
00:08:35.519 --> 00:08:39.080
had been boiled and cooked in a pot on the stove.
145
00:08:39.919 --> 00:08:43.600
There were a number of slices of rump taken off
146
00:08:43.679 --> 00:08:48.559
of his human rump, baked in the oven with some vegetables,
147
00:08:48.679 --> 00:08:52.159
and put on plates with the name of two of
148
00:08:52.200 --> 00:09:00.080
his children on them. Good night, everybody. Needless to say.
149
00:09:00.279 --> 00:09:02.440
She was sence life in prison without parole because they
150
00:09:02.440 --> 00:09:05.679
don't have the death penalty there in Australia. She appealed.
151
00:09:06.480 --> 00:09:10.480
She appealed five years later, lost and appeal thankfully.
152
00:09:10.559 --> 00:09:13.559
I should use different seasoning. You're right, I should not
153
00:09:13.600 --> 00:09:15.039
have made that meal the way I made it.
154
00:09:15.159 --> 00:09:18.679
During the sentencing, the judge said the last minutes of
155
00:09:18.759 --> 00:09:21.639
his life must have been a time of abject terror,
156
00:09:21.720 --> 00:09:25.000
as they were a time of utter enjoyment for her well.
157
00:09:24.840 --> 00:09:27.279
And he had no idea. I mean she didn't skin him.
158
00:09:27.960 --> 00:09:30.840
Did she skin him alive? Did she cut off parts
159
00:09:30.840 --> 00:09:32.720
of his rump for the rump roast when he was
160
00:09:32.720 --> 00:09:37.159
still alive? Well, do we know that the cause, the manner,
161
00:09:37.360 --> 00:09:38.679
the whole. How did he die?
162
00:09:38.759 --> 00:09:41.799
I would have said the stab the thirty seven stab
163
00:09:41.840 --> 00:09:43.200
wounds to multiple times.
164
00:09:43.200 --> 00:09:46.639
Are those stab wounds aside from the stab wounds that
165
00:09:46.679 --> 00:09:48.120
go along with getting skinned.
166
00:09:48.320 --> 00:09:52.240
I'm afraid you're asking specific questions that make you weird.
167
00:09:54.759 --> 00:09:56.720
We can just pull back and say he.
168
00:09:56.799 --> 00:10:00.879
Died, Well, it's I mean, it's a matter of science.
169
00:10:01.279 --> 00:10:01.720
It's in the.
170
00:10:01.679 --> 00:10:04.360
Autops what it is. Forensics is what you're concerned.
171
00:10:04.399 --> 00:10:06.960
But I mean, if you're stabbed thirty seven times, it's
172
00:10:06.960 --> 00:10:09.720
a horrific way to die. But that's not getting skinned
173
00:10:09.759 --> 00:10:12.600
alive and watching part of your you know, your your
174
00:10:12.679 --> 00:10:16.519
rump being cut off for the oven with some parsnips,
1
00:00:00.480 --> 00:00:01.720
Side for True Crime Tuesday.
2
00:00:03.439 --> 00:00:06.639
The story is true, sounds true?
3
00:00:07.480 --> 00:00:09.599
No, it sounds made up. I don't know.
4
00:00:11.720 --> 00:00:17.199
Parry and Shannon present Crime. All right, this is a warning.
5
00:00:17.760 --> 00:00:23.399
This is a pretty violent story. This is the story
6
00:00:23.519 --> 00:00:26.719
of Catherine Knight and just to let you know how
7
00:00:26.760 --> 00:00:30.160
it ends, she was the first woman in the history
8
00:00:30.359 --> 00:00:36.719
of Australia to be sentenced to life in prison. She's
9
00:00:36.759 --> 00:00:40.719
she had severe issues from go.
10
00:00:41.240 --> 00:00:43.799
Can I have some nice music to start this story?
11
00:00:43.840 --> 00:00:45.880
I don't even know what I don't even.
12
00:00:45.759 --> 00:00:49.399
Know what's music. It started off nice, just like every relationship.
13
00:00:50.640 --> 00:00:55.119
Catherine Knight and John Price seemed to be the perfect couple, bubbly,
14
00:00:55.479 --> 00:01:04.280
charming and adored by each other's children. But the relationship
15
00:01:04.359 --> 00:01:14.359
quickly descended into chaos as Katherine stabbed John thirty seven
16
00:01:14.439 --> 00:01:21.599
times into capito. Well it started nice, bubbly, charming and adored.
17
00:01:26.439 --> 00:01:27.159
I don't even know.
18
00:01:29.120 --> 00:01:31.079
Okay, let's back it up, all right, please shall we?
19
00:01:31.239 --> 00:01:31.480
Yes?
20
00:01:32.799 --> 00:01:35.120
She was born Catherine was Can I get back my
21
00:01:35.200 --> 00:01:39.519
nice music? Oh? Catherine was born and raised in Moore.
22
00:01:40.359 --> 00:01:44.439
It was a dysfunctional family which one isn't which saw
23
00:01:44.480 --> 00:01:47.079
her mother Barbara cheat on her father Jack with his
24
00:01:47.159 --> 00:01:52.719
coworker and friend, Kenneth. It's just kids stuff, Bob. She
25
00:01:52.879 --> 00:01:57.640
had seven She had seven siblings. She was a twin
26
00:02:00.159 --> 00:02:07.719
and oh, this is really dark. I don't know if
27
00:02:07.719 --> 00:02:08.039
I can.
28
00:02:08.199 --> 00:02:08.919
She was abused.
29
00:02:09.000 --> 00:02:18.039
She was abused, Yeah, by several family members. It's you
30
00:02:18.439 --> 00:02:21.360
cut the good music. Yeah, no, actually, no good parts
31
00:02:21.479 --> 00:02:24.439
of this story anyway. Apart from her twin sister, the
32
00:02:24.439 --> 00:02:27.479
only person she was Catherine was close to within her
33
00:02:27.520 --> 00:02:30.840
family was her uncle Oscar Knight, who was a champion horseman,
34
00:02:30.879 --> 00:02:32.919
by the way, and then he killed himself.
35
00:02:34.000 --> 00:02:36.439
She got into high school, she was known as a loner.
36
00:02:37.479 --> 00:02:40.039
She was known as a bully actually that would prey
37
00:02:40.039 --> 00:02:43.280
on the younger kids. She assaulted at least one boy
38
00:02:43.319 --> 00:02:46.599
at school with a weapon, was once left injured by
39
00:02:46.639 --> 00:02:49.199
a teacher, but it turns out that the teacher was
40
00:02:49.199 --> 00:02:53.960
simply defending themselves against her. When she left school at
41
00:02:53.960 --> 00:02:56.680
the age of fifteen, she couldn't read. She couldn't write.
42
00:02:57.199 --> 00:03:00.599
She got a job as a cutter in a clothing factory.
43
00:03:00.680 --> 00:03:03.800
She was promoted pretty remember that pr Yeah, she was
44
00:03:03.840 --> 00:03:08.199
promoted pretty quickly. Given her own set of butcher's knives,
45
00:03:08.240 --> 00:03:11.759
in fact, which she kept strapped to the ceiling above
46
00:03:11.800 --> 00:03:18.240
her bed. Guys, guys, quick little psa on life. If
47
00:03:18.280 --> 00:03:21.080
you hook up with a woman, a girl, anyone, and
48
00:03:21.360 --> 00:03:23.400
they've got a set up butcher knives strapped to the
49
00:03:23.439 --> 00:03:26.080
ceiling above their bed, No sex is worth that.
50
00:03:26.599 --> 00:03:30.240
She This job that she had as at the local
51
00:03:30.280 --> 00:03:36.800
abbatois what's an fancy word for slaughterhouse? Okay, that's that's
52
00:03:36.840 --> 00:03:41.680
how she was making money and stayed in that job
53
00:03:41.800 --> 00:03:46.039
until she was eventually put behind bars. She married back
54
00:03:46.039 --> 00:03:50.080
in nineteen seventy three, first first marriage. He was a
55
00:03:50.120 --> 00:03:52.879
heavy drinker. They met while they were working at the
56
00:03:52.879 --> 00:03:56.240
slaughterhouse before they tied the knot in a drunken ceremony
57
00:03:56.840 --> 00:03:57.319
a year.
58
00:03:57.280 --> 00:04:00.599
Later, Catherine's mom said to the soon to be husband
59
00:04:00.599 --> 00:04:03.120
at the ceremony, you better watch this one or she'll
60
00:04:03.120 --> 00:04:07.199
e fin kill you, stir up the wrong way or
61
00:04:07.240 --> 00:04:07.960
do the wrong thing.
62
00:04:08.039 --> 00:04:10.800
In year f that's very similar to what my mother
63
00:04:10.840 --> 00:04:12.439
in law told me on my wedding day.
64
00:04:12.759 --> 00:04:18.240
Is it really on their wedding night, Michelle, excuse me not, Michelle,
65
00:04:18.519 --> 00:04:23.160
Catherine tried to strangle her husband yeap, later explaining it
66
00:04:23.199 --> 00:04:30.079
was because he fell asleep after only having sex three times. Guys,
67
00:04:31.000 --> 00:04:32.360
never mind are the red flags?
68
00:04:32.360 --> 00:04:36.040
Is that what you're saying? I mean, I don't know.
69
00:04:36.120 --> 00:04:38.600
I mean that's a real ding dong, isn't it? Is
70
00:04:38.600 --> 00:04:40.839
that a plus or a minus? Like your wife's pissed
71
00:04:40.839 --> 00:04:42.319
off at you because you only want to go out
72
00:04:42.360 --> 00:04:43.079
it three times.
73
00:04:43.560 --> 00:04:47.360
In one of their fights, she smashed him in the
74
00:04:47.360 --> 00:04:49.959
head with a frying pan because he got home late
75
00:04:50.079 --> 00:04:53.279
after a dart competition when he reached the finals.
76
00:04:53.839 --> 00:04:56.879
The detail of this story is incredible now is.
77
00:04:57.160 --> 00:04:59.199
None of this is the crime that put her in
78
00:04:59.279 --> 00:05:04.319
jail for life without parole. But then again, I'm.
79
00:05:04.160 --> 00:05:07.480
Sorry, Like, that's sad. Arrived home late from a darts
80
00:05:07.519 --> 00:05:10.560
competition after he reached the final, so he didn't even
81
00:05:10.600 --> 00:05:10.959
win it.
82
00:05:11.079 --> 00:05:11.800
He didn't even win.
83
00:05:12.600 --> 00:05:13.279
That sucks.
84
00:05:13.480 --> 00:05:16.199
Maybe that's what it was had he come back with
85
00:05:16.240 --> 00:05:16.759
a trophy.
86
00:05:16.879 --> 00:05:19.000
This is like when you come home from fantasy camp.
87
00:05:19.920 --> 00:05:21.120
And all I am is sore.
88
00:05:21.720 --> 00:05:24.920
Yeah, we are in the middle of True Crime Tuesday
89
00:05:24.959 --> 00:05:28.399
and we're talking about Catherine Knight. Where we left off. Well,
90
00:05:28.519 --> 00:05:32.439
Catherine had a rough go of things right out the
91
00:05:32.480 --> 00:05:37.120
shoot there as well. She had an awful childhood, sexually
92
00:05:37.120 --> 00:05:40.000
abused by different men in her family throughout her childhood,
93
00:05:40.040 --> 00:05:44.079
troubled relationships without men or with men throughout her adult life,
94
00:05:44.680 --> 00:05:48.519
many many, many red flags. None were heated. There is
95
00:05:48.560 --> 00:05:51.480
a book written about Catherine, by the way, it's called Bloodstains,
96
00:05:52.399 --> 00:05:56.360
and it all came to a head in a murder
97
00:05:56.399 --> 00:06:00.360
in two thousand and one. But up until that point,
98
00:06:00.480 --> 00:06:03.240
she was a bully. We talked about how she beat
99
00:06:03.279 --> 00:06:05.720
people up at school. She tried to strangle her first
100
00:06:05.800 --> 00:06:08.040
husband on their wedding night because he didn't want to
101
00:06:08.040 --> 00:06:11.279
have sex more than three times. Later, fractured his skull
102
00:06:11.319 --> 00:06:16.639
with a frying pan, killed another partner's dog, and stabbed
103
00:06:16.680 --> 00:06:20.839
him with a pair of scissors. A former detective says
104
00:06:21.240 --> 00:06:24.040
she was a horror movie in the making, to which
105
00:06:24.120 --> 00:06:26.720
I say, that's a pretty solid horror movie up until
106
00:06:26.759 --> 00:06:27.519
that point, right.
107
00:06:27.680 --> 00:06:31.680
Yeah. She eventually begins an affair with a John Price
108
00:06:32.839 --> 00:06:35.879
before nineteen eighty eight, when his marriage ended. She later
109
00:06:35.920 --> 00:06:39.680
moved into his house in nineteen ninety five. He was
110
00:06:39.720 --> 00:06:43.160
aware of her reputation. I'm going to repeat that, he
111
00:06:43.240 --> 00:06:47.279
was aware of her violent reputation and decided to look
112
00:06:47.319 --> 00:06:47.839
the other way.
113
00:06:47.959 --> 00:06:52.959
Sometimes crazy women there the craziest.
114
00:06:53.240 --> 00:06:56.879
He refused to marry her, and she tried to force
115
00:06:57.000 --> 00:07:02.319
him by apparently recording him videotape him the stuff that
116
00:07:02.360 --> 00:07:05.079
he had stolen from work, and then sending that videotape
117
00:07:05.079 --> 00:07:07.480
to the boss. He even said at one point he
118
00:07:07.519 --> 00:07:10.000
was so worried about her he told his co workers,
119
00:07:10.360 --> 00:07:13.360
if I don't show up to work tomorrow, call the cops.
120
00:07:13.920 --> 00:07:17.120
Guess what. He didn't show up to work the next day.
121
00:07:17.240 --> 00:07:20.839
Neighbors found the officers the next morning. This was March first,
122
00:07:20.839 --> 00:07:25.040
two thousand. Why well, there were blood stains on the
123
00:07:25.079 --> 00:07:29.560
couple's front door. Police show up, They go inside, and
124
00:07:29.600 --> 00:07:34.000
they find this guy not as lucky as the first husband. No,
125
00:07:34.519 --> 00:07:39.120
they find his body mutilated inside the home. She's found
126
00:07:39.160 --> 00:07:43.680
passed out nearby. Why would you fall asleep? She took
127
00:07:43.720 --> 00:07:44.639
a bunch of pills.
128
00:07:44.680 --> 00:07:48.279
No, no, no him, She stabbed him at first while
129
00:07:48.319 --> 00:07:51.920
he was sleeping. You already know that what you're living with,
130
00:07:52.519 --> 00:07:55.360
and you know you've just told everybody because you took
131
00:07:55.360 --> 00:07:58.040
a restraining order out on her and told your coworkers
132
00:07:58.519 --> 00:08:00.879
this might be the end of it. Can you fall asleep?
133
00:08:01.199 --> 00:08:04.160
Sergeant Robert Wells was one of the first on the scene.
134
00:08:04.199 --> 00:08:06.399
He says, by the time I got there, Catherine was
135
00:08:06.480 --> 00:08:09.160
leaving in an ambulance. She had taken enough pills, not
136
00:08:09.319 --> 00:08:11.120
enough to kill her, but enough to make her sleep.
137
00:08:12.000 --> 00:08:16.680
Sergeant Robert Wells says, I walked inside. I walked inside
138
00:08:16.720 --> 00:08:21.360
and saw the human skin pelt hanging up, completely intact,
139
00:08:21.480 --> 00:08:22.399
in one piece.
140
00:08:22.519 --> 00:08:25.279
Again. Remember she worked at a slaughterhouse, so she knew
141
00:08:25.319 --> 00:08:26.040
how to do this.
142
00:08:26.360 --> 00:08:30.560
John Price's decapitated and skinned body was lying on the
143
00:08:30.639 --> 00:08:35.320
floor in the lounge room. We found his head. It
144
00:08:35.519 --> 00:08:39.080
had been boiled and cooked in a pot on the stove.
145
00:08:39.919 --> 00:08:43.600
There were a number of slices of rump taken off
146
00:08:43.679 --> 00:08:48.559
of his human rump, baked in the oven with some vegetables,
147
00:08:48.679 --> 00:08:52.159
and put on plates with the name of two of
148
00:08:52.200 --> 00:09:00.080
his children on them. Good night, everybody. Needless to say.
149
00:09:00.279 --> 00:09:02.440
She was sence life in prison without parole because they
150
00:09:02.440 --> 00:09:05.679
don't have the death penalty there in Australia. She appealed.
151
00:09:06.480 --> 00:09:10.480
She appealed five years later, lost and appeal thankfully.
152
00:09:10.559 --> 00:09:13.559
I should use different seasoning. You're right, I should not
153
00:09:13.600 --> 00:09:15.039
have made that meal the way I made it.
154
00:09:15.159 --> 00:09:18.679
During the sentencing, the judge said the last minutes of
155
00:09:18.759 --> 00:09:21.639
his life must have been a time of abject terror,
156
00:09:21.720 --> 00:09:25.000
as they were a time of utter enjoyment for her well.
157
00:09:24.840 --> 00:09:27.279
And he had no idea. I mean she didn't skin him.
158
00:09:27.960 --> 00:09:30.840
Did she skin him alive? Did she cut off parts
159
00:09:30.840 --> 00:09:32.720
of his rump for the rump roast when he was
160
00:09:32.720 --> 00:09:37.159
still alive? Well, do we know that the cause, the manner,
161
00:09:37.360 --> 00:09:38.679
the whole. How did he die?
162
00:09:38.759 --> 00:09:41.799
I would have said the stab the thirty seven stab
163
00:09:41.840 --> 00:09:43.200
wounds to multiple times.
164
00:09:43.200 --> 00:09:46.639
Are those stab wounds aside from the stab wounds that
165
00:09:46.679 --> 00:09:48.120
go along with getting skinned.
166
00:09:48.320 --> 00:09:52.240
I'm afraid you're asking specific questions that make you weird.
167
00:09:54.759 --> 00:09:56.720
We can just pull back and say he.
168
00:09:56.799 --> 00:10:00.879
Died, Well, it's I mean, it's a matter of science.
