Beyond Bad is the shocking true story of Katherine Knight, the first Australian woman to be sentenced to serve out her life in prison. Her crime – the ritual slaying and skinning of her de facto husband for a cannibal feast – is the most gruesome ever committed in Australia. Knight, a 44-year-old abattoir worker, stabbed her de facto John Price 37 times, skinned his body, cooked his head, and served him up as a meal for his children. Beyond Bad explains what motivated Knight to commit such a heinous act and how it rocked the Hunter Valley town she lived in.

An insight into a killer's mind
This book details not only Katherine Knight's crime, but also much of her life before hand, and the aftermath of the murder of John Price. While we question how some people can be so evil, to go to the extents that Knight did is truly Beyond Bad.
