Cruel and evil, Katherine Knight showed no mercy when she butchered her de facto in a crime that put her behind bars in an Australian prison for a record life sentence.

Beyond Bad is a shocking true story of Knight and her crimes—the ritual slaying and skinning of her de facto for a cannibal feast. Knight, a 44-year-old abattoir worker, stabbed father-of-three John Price 37 times, skinned his body, cooked his head, and served him up as a meal for his children.

Drawing on first-hand accounts, Beyond Bad tells what motivated Knight to commit such a heinous act and how it rocked the small town she lived in. This is a horrifying story of love, lust, revenge, and murder—all the more shocking because it really happened in Australia.
