S6E7 Katherine Knight: Australia’s Most Terrifying Woman

This week, Isla takes the reins while Dee tries (and fails) to sit quietly.

We head to Aberdeen, New South Wales - not Scotland - and to a case so shocking it changed Australian sentencing history forever.

In March 2000, John “Pricey” Price failed to turn up for work. He had warned colleagues the day before:

“If I don’t come in tomorrow, she’s killed me.”

He was right.

What police discovered inside his home was described by the sentencing judge as:

“Beyond contemplation in a civilised society.”

Katherine Knight became the first woman in Australian history to be sentenced to life imprisonment without the possibility of parole.
