Woman Gets Life for Skinning Boyfriend CANBERRA, Australia (Reuters) - A woman began a lifelong sentence behind bars Friday, never to be released, for murdering and skinning her boyfriend in a cannibal orgy. A court was told former abattoir worker Katherine Knight stabbed her partner John Price at least 37 times with a butcher's knife, skinned his body, cooked his head and served him up in dishes with nameplates for each of his children. Knight, 46, became the first woman in Australia whose file was marked never to be released from jail after pleading guilty to butchering 44-year-old Price in his home in Aberdeen, 200 km (124 miles) north-west of Sydney, in February last year. "She is starting her life sentence in a high security unit of Mulawa jail in western Sydney and this really does mean life under truth-in-sentencing laws introduced in 1990,'' a court spokesman told Reuters. New South Wales Supreme Court judge Barry O'Keefe, handing down the sentence, said Knight, in a new black night gown, showed Price "no mercy'' when she attacked him after the couple had apparently had sex, according to media reports. Price's attempt to escape the frenzied attack -- planned 48 hours earlier -- culminated with him getting out of the house only to be dragged back in by Knight. O'Keefe said Knight, who had worked as a meat slicer in abattoirs, skinned Price with such expertise and a steady hand that his skin, including that of his head, face, nose, ears, neck, torso, genital organs, and legs, was removed to form one pelt. "The excised parts of Mr. Price were then taken to the kitchen and at some stage, after she peeled and prepared various vegetables, she cooked Mr. Price's head in a large pot with a number of vegetables she had prepared so as to produce a sickening stew," he told the court. "The gruesome steaks were then arranged on plates together with the vegetables which she had baked and left as meals for the son and daughter of the deceased accompanied by vindictive notes." O'Keefe said Knight's evil actions came from resentment arising out of her rejection by Price after a six-year relationship, her impending expulsion from his home, and his refusal to share his assets with her, particularly his house which he wanted to keep for his children.
Ummm.... Oh, I guess I do have something to add. My osteology professor told me that one time, while he was boiling this guy to remove his flesh from his bones, he had a bit of a mishap. He started pouring the liquid (human stew) off of the top of the pot while trying to keep the guy's parts in the stew pot (imagine a huge stew pot w/ a pouring end and a little trough beneath it... his design, it seems as if there has to be a better way). Anyway, the liquid at the top poured freely but as he tried to get more and more liquid out of the pot, the angle of the dangle... anyway, the parts flew into the liquid trough and stew flew up into my professor's mouth. If that's not gross enough already, he said that it was actually pretty good.
I read that story just before coming here and I must say that is probably the closest I have ever come to throwing up just from reading something. And then Achebe's little account of human taste testing pushed me one step closer to the edge of heaving (and I'm about to break).
I'm glad I know what Osteology is or else I would have been really wondering what school Achebe went too..
<b>Ex-husband stew:</b> 3 lbs ex-huband biceps, triceps, gluteal, and abdominal flesh 3 cups water or chicken stock 2 boiling potatoes 2 yellow onions 2 carrots 1 clove garlic 2 tbsp salt 2 tbsp pepper 1 tbsp paprika Cut meat into 1 inch cubes, making sure to remove outer fascia and any testicular debris. Sear meat on high heat in olive oil until outside is well browned. Remove meat from pan and set aside. Dice potatoes, onions, and carrots and sautee with finely minced garlic in two tbsp of olive oil until softened and onions are translucent. Add meat back into pan. Add salt, pepper, and water to pan. If using chicken stock, omit salt. Sprinkle in paprika and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 35-40 minutes. Serve with crusty french bread or cornbread. Bon Apetite!
I forgot to mention: the guy that my professor ate had died in a fire. He was a 'crispie critter' whose head had exploded off (at a certain temperature that bag of liquid you call your heed blows up). I just thought that might help you guys empathize with my professor's select tastes. Everybody likes their meat w/ some burn marks on it (and then boiled I guess).
Oh wow. Ok. Hey Clutch, can we get a ratings symbol like they do for movies so that we can slap it onto posts!
That definitely belongs at www.psychoexgirlfriend.com In fact, I believe they can just go ahead and shut that website down right now...because no psycho ex is topping this.
