Katherine Knight Biography

Katherine Knight is one of the most popular and richest Criminal who was born on October 24, 1955 in Tenterfield, New South Wales, Australia. John Charles Thomas Price (born on April 4, 1955) was the father of three kids at the time Knight was involved in an affair with his girlfriend. He was reputedly a “terrific bloke” liked by anyone that knew him. His personal marriage ended in 1988. His two-year-old daughter resided with his former wife and the two children of his previous marriage resided with him. Price was aware of Knight’s reputation for violence after they moved in to his home in the year 1995. His children loved her, they were making lots of money at the local mines, and aside from the violent argument initially “life was a bunch of roses.”

Knight first met hard drinking co-worker David Stanford Kellett in 1973. Kellett worked previously for the railways in Coffs Harbour. His friend who was his best friend was killed directly in front of him in an accident involving shunting, and Kellett was also present in the event that a train struck the school bus at Kempsey which killed six children in the year 1968. He assisted in the rescue of those injured and then remove the bodies. The excessive drinking of his is believed to be the cause of these incidents. He was moved into Muswellbrook because he caused several accidents because he was asleep when driving. His behavior deteriorated and he was eventually dismissed from the job, however, it was not long before he got a job at the close Aberdeen abattoir. There, he was close with Knight’s brother. When he started dating Knight and occasionally was with her twin. Most of the time when Kellett engaged in an argument, Knight would step in and help him out by kicking him. In Aberdeen the city, she was known for her physical threats to anyone who irritated her. Knight was married to Kellett on the 14th of April in 1974 upon her request, and the couple arriving to the ceremony on her motorbike with an extremely drunk Kellett on the side. When they arrived, the bride’s mother Barbara offered Kellett some tips:

In May 1976, shortly after the birth of their first child, Melissa Ann, Kellett left her for another woman and moved to Queensland, apparently unable to cope with Knight’s abuse. The next day, Knight was seen pushing her new baby in a pram down the main street, violently throwing the pram from side to side. She was admitted to St Elmo’s Hospital in Tamworth, where she was diagnosed with postnatal depression and spent several weeks recovering. After being released, Knight placed two-month-old Melissa on a railway line shortly before a train was due; she then stole an axe, went into town and threatened to kill several people. A man known in the district as “Old Ted”, who was foraging near the railway line, found and rescued Melissa, by all accounts only minutes before the train passed. Knight was arrested and again taken to St Elmo’s Hospital, but, apparently recovered, signed herself out the following day.

Knight met 38-year-old miner David Saunders in 1986. A few months later, he moved in with her and her daughters, although he kept his old apartment in Scone. Knight soon became jealous regarding what he did when she was not around and would often throw him out. He would move back to his apartment, where she would invariably follow and beg him to return. In May 1987, she cut the throat of his two-month-old dingo pup in front of him, for no more reason than as an example of what would happen if he ever had an affair, before going on to knock him unconscious with a frying pan. In June 1988, she gave birth to a third daughter, Sarah, which prompted Saunders to put a deposit on a house; Knight paid off the deposit when her workers’ compensation came through in

1989. Knight decorated the house throughout with animal skins, skulls, horns, rusty animal traps, leather jackets, old boots, machetes, rakes and pitchforks. No space, including the ceilings, was left uncovered.

Her great-grandmother, Barbara’s grandmother was Indigenous Australian from the Moree region, who was married to an Irishman. Barbara was very proud of her heritage and has identified as Aboriginal. It was kept a family secret due to the fact that there was a significant amount of discrimination against Aboriginal people in the region in the past and it caused tension for the kids. In addition to Her twin sister sole person who Knight knew was the father, Oscar Knight, who was an accomplished horseman. Her heart was broken when he died in 1969. She insists that his ghost haunts her. The family relocated to Aberdeen in the same year.

On 6 March 1980, they had another daughter, Natasha Maree. In 1984, Knight left Kellett and moved, first to her parent’s house in Aberdeen, then to a rented house in nearby Muswellbrook.

When she attended Muswellbrook high school, Knight became a loner and is remembered by classmates as a bully who stood over smaller children. She assaulted at least one boy at school with a weapon and was once injured by a teacher – who was subsequently found to have acted in self-defence. By contrast, when not in a rage, Knight was a model student and often earned awards for her good behaviour. Upon leaving school at 15, without having learned to read or write, she gained employment as a cutter in a clothing factory. Twelve months later, she left to start what she referred to as her “dream job”, cutting up offal at the local abattoir. There, she was quickly promoted to boning and was given her own set of butchers’ knives. At home, the knives were hung over her bed so that they “would always be handy if I needed them”, a habit she continued – until her incarceration – everywhere she lived.
