About skinning your husband and cooking his head...

November 19th 2006 03:52
Katherine Knight and John Price
Katherine Knight and John Price
"[1] Katherine Mary Knight (the prisoner) was arraigned on 2 February, 2001 on a charge of having murdered John Charles Thomas Price (Mr Price) at Aberdeen in the State of New South Wales on or about 29 February 2000...

[8] The post mortem examination revealed that Mr Price had been stabbed at least 37 times in various parts of both the front and back of his body...

[9] Many of the wounds were deep, and extended into vital organs. These included the aorta, both lungs, the liver, the stomach, the descending colon, the pancreas, and the left kidney, the lower pole of which had virtually been sliced off.

[10] The wounds inflicted on Mr Price and the injuries which they caused resulted in the loss of a great deal of blood. This was found splattered and smeared throughout various parts of the house and in a pool, which was quite deep, and measured 1 metre x 2 metres. This pool was in the hallway of Mr Price’s home...

[14] After he had been dead for some time his body was dragged by the prisoner from the hallway into the lounge room...

[16] Thereafter the prisoner, who had for many years worked as a meat slicer in abattoirs, skinned Mr Price’s body. This was carried out with considerable expertise and an obviously steady hand so that his skin, including that of the head, face, nose, ears, neck, torso, genital organs and legs, was removed so as to form one pelt. So expertly was it done that, after the post mortem examination, the skin was able to be re-sown onto Mr Price’s body in a way which indicated a clear and appropriate, albeit grizzly, methodology...

[17] At some time after Mr Price had been skinned the prisoner hung his pelt on a meat hook on the architrave of the door of the lounge room, where it remained until it was later removed by investigating police...

[18] ... [A]t some time between the time when the body was moved into the lounge room and skinned and about a time before 7.30 a.m. on 1 March 2000 the prisoner decapitated Mr Price’s body and at some stage arranged it with the left arm draped over an empty soft drink bottle, and the legs crossed. This was said in evidence to be an act of defilement demonstrating contempt for Mr Price’s remains.

[19] The evidence of the Medical Examiner establishes that the decapitation was effected at the C3/C4 junction and was done with a very sharp knife. The removal was clean and left an incised type wound. To remove Mr Price’s head in such a way required skill, which was consistent with the skills acquired by the prisoner in the course of her work as a meat slicer. It also required a steady hand at the relevant time.

[20] Not only was Mr Price’s head removed but parts of his buttocks were also sliced off. The excised parts of Mr Price were then taken by the prisoner to the kitchen and at some stage, after she had peeled and prepared various vegetables, she cooked Mr Price’s head in a large pot together with a number of the vegetables she had prepared so as to produce a sickening stew. The contents of the pot were still warm, estimated to be at between 40 and 50 degrees centigrade, when examined by police during the mid-morning of 1 March 2000...

[21] The pieces which had been cut from Mr Price’s buttocks were baked in the oven of the premises by the prisoner together with other of the vegetables she had peeled. 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 to each in the handwriting of the prisoner. A third piece was thrown on the back lawn, whether for consumption by dogs or for some other purpose is not revealed in the evidence...

[26] The circumstances of and surrounding the killing of Mr Price can thus be seen to be horrendous. Indeed they go far beyond the experience of any of the professional people, including experienced psychiatrists, that were involved in the case. A number of police officers who were highly experienced in examining crime scenes found the need to take stress leave because of the situation with which they were confronted when examining the crime scene at Mr Price’s house. Objectively the circumstances mark the killing and its accompanying incidents as being of the most gruesome kind, the murder as being in the most serious category of that crime."

And that is why we should all treat our wives with the respect that they deserve.

Dear Damo -- your gallows humour is very much appreciated.

Dear Katy -- well, my main interest is in why, exactly, this was considered to fall in the worst case category of crime. What makes an atrocity an atrocity? I'll post a discussion of this soonish...

Comment by Australis

November 19th 2006 06:06
Why is it an atrocity? Simple: she left the cooked bits out as a meal for his kids. Imagine for a moment that you were one of the kids, and you actually sat down and consumed it. Bet you wouldn't be cracking "Hmm, tastes like chicken" jokes or "long pig" jokes. You may not ever eat again.

To do something like that to his children is cruel beyond any kind of moral understanfing.

And that, to lay down a starting point for your discussion, is what an atrocity is - cruelty untempered by any human feeling, any humanity.

Adrian,
*stifling a giggle* This was very *giggle...err uhhh cough cough* very disturbing.

I have no idea why, but this has struck me as very funny. I need Bryn. When Bryn sees this, he will agree with me.

I mean, it is horrible. I don't know what else to say. A STEW?? I don't find it appropriate. I just find it sort of funny. I think it was the way it was written. God help me, am I the only one that thinks this post was really funny??

Adrian, I loved the title. It's your fault. Everyone will think I am bonkers now, you know. And Damos. His comment made me giggle inappropriately, too. I feel like I am in the middle of a wedding and giggling because the bride is wearing white when all of us know that white is a bit of a lie.

Its sad that we live in a world where we seem to have become desensitized to all of these things. I read this with morbid fascination and that was all. We have become so used to seeing things on the TV that we when we see them now it`s almost like it`s just a part of every day life. I went to watch Saw 3 not so long ago and I was shocked by how graphic the gore was. It`s a shock now, but a year down the line it will just be the norm.
Bring back the days when showing ankles was considered as distasteful.
Where will it all end?

Adrian,

Do we really need comments like katyzzz's?

I don't think so ...

I'd prefer to live without them ...

They're so puritannical ...

But that's my personal opinion (and Orble is a site where we are allowed to express our personal opinions, isn't it?) ...

And so, she keeps posting her puritannical opnions. Why? In the hope that others will visit her site and increase her vote count? So she can make $$$ money from blogging? Or get everyone to like her? I'm not sure. I'm not even sure that she knows herself. So what chance have I got? I only know that in my personal opinion, puritans annoy me. They coat their underbelly with sugary corsets.

Keep posting posts about the depravity of human nature ...

Eventually, even the puritannical will realise that they are more morally depraved than murderers ...

David ...

I don't mind the odd night of rough sex, but keep the Staysharps in the kitchen draw I sez.

I'm no marraige counsellor but do you think they were having problems in their relationship?

I bet it was because he always hogged the remote for the tv & kept changing channels during the ads.

Comment by Adrian

November 20th 2006 00:35
Hey guys!

Australis -- two general points in response.

I suppose the first thing to say is that there's a question over whether to call this an "atrocity" at all. What is the difference between "atrocity" and "really really bad"? And is what Katherine Knight did comparable to massacres or torture, or is it in a lesser league? After all, most of the carving happened after the guy was dead; and the children (adult children, incidentally) didn't in fact discover their dinner (and I'm not sure if they even lived in the same house); and if they had discovered it, and if they'd actually eaten anything, would the likelihood of psychological damage necessarily make the act an atrocity? For instance, would there be enough likely damage? How would it compare, for instance, with the post-traumatic stress disorder of soldiers who see friends splattered in front of them?

I know this probably seems like splitting hairs (and it is splitting hairs), but I do think there's nothing wrong with asking the question, What exactly makes something an atrocity? If Knight's actions are an example, what can one generalize from them? What exactly about psychological damage, or what degree of psychological damage, can make something an atrocity? And this is both a linguistic and a psychological matter.

Secondly, I think the main suggestion in your comment is that an atrocity represents something cruel beyond understanding. And I'd agree (though I'd want to be more precise about the formulation). The whole tone of your post suggests that there is something about the incident that leaves you speechless. Something unimaginable. It might be the case, for instance, that what she did to the body or the children was a striking violation of norms that you/society take for granted. Perhaps something that one might think it is psychologically impossible to bring oneself to do.

(Though I also think that if it were true that she's insane, that somehow makes her acts less atrocious.)

Well, regarding this, I'd want to argue that perhaps part of what's disturbing is that we might see in ourselves the capacity to do what Knight did. Are her actions really that inexplicable or incomprehensible, "beyond moral understanding"? And is it possible to be both a humane, moral person, and a vicious murderer?

Dear Voices -- I'm glad you wrote that. Thank you for daring to be honest.

I think death and laughter, and horror and humour, are intimately related.

People sometimes laugh at funerals -- at the same time as grieving; and I'm told that, in some cultures, it's not abnormal to laugh at accidents, out of the shock of them.

In Buffy, the horrible is often converted into the comic. Big scary monster sits down with you and has a totally-out-of-visual-character chat.

Dear Ash -- it's probably true that we're less shocked by representations of violence or sex. But here's four points in reply.

Firstly, I don't think it's obvious that our reactions to the media fully translate to our reactions to real life. If you see someone struck on film, it's less confronting than seeing someone struck on stage. And blood in real life is more real than movie blood.

Secondly, I don't think that our standards of appropriate conduct necessarily depend on our capacity for shock. We may be more accustomed to depictions of rape, but, as a society, we treat rape with more seriousness than we used to.

Thirdly, exposure can result in hypersensitization as well as desensitization. People allergic to grass tend to have developed the condition in the country, and people allergic to dust mites tend to be brought up in the city. Doctors surrounded by pain can become more compassionate as well as less compassionate. Art can show you the interior as well as the exterior.

Lastly, is desensitization necessarily a bad thing? Why is it bad, for instance, to look on a naked body with indifference rather than conscious of breaking taboos?

Dear David -- I'm probably going to write about other matters now, so I hope you won't be too disappointed if there's a deficiency of depravity in my posts, though I do hope there'll be an increase in yours.

Yeah, I doubt anyone's going to make money from Orble. Cibby, who's been doing it for about 6 months, told me he's earning $50 a week, but I reckon that with the time one puts in, a job at Maccas would make more economic sense.

Katy, if you're reading this, I have to admit that your comments often feel vote-hungry; and I think you'd probably admit that they are. It surprises me that David has already noticed. But, hey, I'm still grateful for them, and one needn't assume that they're wholly insincere or self-serving.

Dear Joe Blogg -- thanks for the drop in! Just to clarify, they were de-facto husband and wife, and she had a long and scary history of violence towards her previous partners (if anyone is pruriently interested, check out this link), but one of the main reasons for the murder seems to have been that the deceased assaulted her the Sunday before.

I thought hanging the skinned carcass on a meat hook in the lounge doorway was a nice touch - a conversation starter for when friends pop round.

That was absolutely horrific. Did the kids come home before the police arrived or did someone else find the bodies? It's terrifying to think that fruit cakes like this actually live amongst us.

Who has the film rights ...?

Comment by Adrian

November 20th 2006 02:25
Hmm... The description in the judge's reasons is unclear to me, at least on a quick skim.

But my impression is that:

-- the kids are in their late thirties, and are from a previous marriage. I get the impression that they weren't about to come home at all (that they didn't live in the house).
-- immediately following her mutilation of the body, Katherine Knight took a large quantity of pills, then admitted herself to hospital, and claimed amnesia. I get the impression that the judge thought this was a fake suicide attempt, and that the mutilation itself was an attempt to prepare for an insanity defence. It's not clear to me at what point the body was discovered, but presumably there would have been attempts to contact Knight's next of kin after she admitted herself, and presumably people would have noticed that John Price was missing.

Comment by Adrian

November 20th 2006 02:29
I'm skeptical there are any film rights.

And there's also some laws (I'm not familiar with them) about criminals profitting from proceeds of crime.

Are you in a scriptwriting mood, Bryn?

while you're here, I had a dream where i lost a tooth, one of my incisors .... what does losing teeth mean?

Comment by Ash

November 20th 2006 07:19
Hi Adrian,
Good points. I just think that the more that we are exposed to and the more acceptable everything becomes it`s making us emotionless beings. Do you really want kids to be watching videos of bodies being piled into mass graves or for that matter reading of cases like this and just skimming over it with a 'whatever' attitude? It saddens me to think that my kids will grow up in a world like that. Or perhaps in true female style I am just WAY too much in touch with my emotional side

Comment by Lilla

November 20th 2006 08:44
Bryn,

not the most appropriate place... but I'm sure Adrian won't mind us adding interest to his commentary...

Teeth seem in dreams stands for aggressive sexuality. To see them falling out easily symbolises that we are going through some form of transition.. e.g. from childhood to maturity, or from maturity to old age and helplessness… [lovelly stuff – worse than Adrian’s article] *lol* If there was fear in the dream about the tooth[teeth] falling out then it signifies a dread of maturing. In a woman’s dream [if the tooth is swallowed] it often signifies pregnancy…*lol*

Cheers,
Lilla...

Hi Bryn and Lilla,
Where I come from dreaming of teeth falling out is a pre-warning of bad health - nothing necessarily bad, but just a warning to take better care of your body.

Bryn,
So basically what your dream is telling you is that at 65 you will be into bondage, terrified of retirement and need to look after your elbows as they will begin to deteriorate rapidly after all those years of whipping and trying to break free of your bed retstraints.

(PS beware of who you choose as a wife - she may take that bondage thing a little too far in keeping with this post!)

Adrian,

The situions is so very very wrong, but I have to agree with Voices that it's also a bit funny. Making a head stew?? And then cooking up ass steaks for the kids and the dog? That's a bit humourous, even though its very icky.

I mean, obviously the woman is seriously seriously disturbed. It would make for a good horror movie though. Bryn, I'm sure you could come up with a script.

Some handy tips for my next dinner party.,...or perhaps not.

She could've gone for the divorce option, but D-I-V-O-R-C-E can be pretty painful (those words we're hiding from little J-O-E are tearing the heart right out of me).

Um, yeah this is horrible and I agree with Bryn that the woman is truly ghastly. A true death's head grin if ever I saw one. My favourite part of the photo is that there's a picture of her, and then a tiny little picture of his head superimposed in the bottom right hand corner. Talk about insensitive. Perhaps they were going to use a picture of his ass, but decided that would be just too gratuitous.

Oh, and I'm also impressed with the fact that she cooked his ass with vegies. Even though she was committing a henious act, she was still mindful of two of the five food groups: ass and vegetables. Surely this should win her some sort of homemaker of the year award.

Actually this sort of thing doesn’t surprise me one little bit. >>White Western Female<< are some of the biggest psychopaths that have ever walked the planet. And they have a standing legalized HATE movement against men called the >>Feminist Movement<<.


“And that is why we should all treat our wives with the respect that they deserve.”

You got it and>> they don’t deserve much<<.

Islam is looking better and better all the time.

The reality is Western Men have been placing, Women on Pedestals that they don’t belong on for a very long time. It is time for a reality check for men, especially in Australia, ground zero for feminism. WOMEN ARE NOT EQUAL TO MEN! Never have been, and never will be.

Don’t believe me, check out the devoice rates in western countries.

Some things Western Women Suck at.
Being a Wife
Being a Mother to your children
Being a decent Sex Partner
Being a Trustworthy Individual.
Having basic morality that isn’t centered around her.

Things Western Women are Good at.
Whining about how Men have violated their rights, and getting corrupt Western Politicians to go along with it.


OK men, GET A CLUE!
STOP MARRYING THESE BITCHES, and move on to greener pastures.

Here is where you can start, if you have the courage to face the truth.

Ok...I have to come clean here.

The truth is that you are all right. I am a bit psycho...sometimes I don't even know that I have said things or whatever. I just wake up and see what I have posted, if it's still on the screen before I pass out and just want to vomit. Sometimes I like my hate-filled shit...I get off on it, pushing everyone's buttons. But the thing is...I more than likely won't even remember tomorrow that I wrote this so who cares? Not to the point of passing out yet...I will be on someone else's blog before I get to that point. So who cares, right? I will deny it later anyways...the beauty of being Anon.

I don't hate women. I drink. I drink A LOT. I haven't seen a naked female ever. I get desperate. A dildo up my ass? I wish.

Welcome Anon

Im glad you shared, this aspect of your life, with us Anon. it is right up there with a filthy Psychotic Western Woman, killing and skinning her husband.

You seem to fit quite well with the other, anti, male bigots, and BDSM fanatics here.

Anon “I don't hate women. I drink. I drink A LOT. I haven't seen a naked female ever. I get desperate. A dildo up my ass? I wish.”

Trust me, naked women aren’t really that special, once you have seen one, you have seen them all.

But the drinking thing you should really lay off on.
And it is OK to hate most Western White Women, they have earned it.

If this is true you, need to worry about your own problems, and not be worrying about who is posting as Anonymous on an internet message board.

Of course if you are really into those things you might try, this Katherine Mary Knight person, I hear she is free, something about a deceased husband.

In my lifetime i have known of several women that have treated their men badly, rather cruelly actually. I havent always been the little princess that alot of women pretend to be either for that matter but this woman was down right saddistic and chances are the way she bought up herchildren that honestly they are just waiting for their chance to! The poor men that Katherine dated must suffer terrible nightmares and what ifs.... and the daughters i hope dont follow suit and treat their men the same. By that i mean; intimidation (fearing that they too could be hacked to pieces). I bet thaey batter their men. What if that was your son?Look after your children protect them, keep them safe loved and appreciated. Bring them up to have self respect and to respect others or look at what happens! What a saddistic woman!I hope that Bob Wells and the other police officers and the men that escaped her are safe and happy. Be thankful that woman is off the streets and away from our sons. To Priceys family i hope you are all safe and thinking of your father in a better place away from that woman. He would want his ex wife and kids to be happy.

Hi I just wanted to say that nobody realy knows what goes on behind closed doors.Even relatives may think she treated him wrong but in real life nobody realy knows.I actualy met Kathrine in goal and she was a realy nice lady to talk to,if you didnt know what she was in for you would think she was in for shop lifting.so to the relative of the deceased if you dont wanna hear obsene comments about the crime then dont bluddy read these sites simple.....

wow. . im a bit frustrated here.. to think that people could find the violent death of a victim of domestic abuse amusing. and discuss his death with so little sensitivity...to objectify him.... but hey thats the nature of cyberspace forums and blogs. each person competing to upstage the other. with opportunistic jokes. ...

and by the way uncontrollable laughter caused by witnessing or experiencing a traumatic incident is in no way comaparable to giggling while reading about someone elses gruesome demise

just picture..i mean really picture your own father spending his last moments in absolute terror and excruciating pain...the giggling should soon appease

im sure the victim was big enough to defend himself, the fact that he suffered 30 odd stab wounds and she none, gives me an indication of the violent nature of the women
and as for the last anon comment..im sure knight appeared quite the upstanding citzen when you met her in jail....but you should try dating her first before drawing conclusions on her personality...im sure i dont have to lecture you educated folks on the profile of abusers...few, including the ones facing their wrath ever believe them capable of the violence they perpetrate.

its so easy to rationalise violence these days...some say its basic primal human nature...we all have the dark side...are any of us ordinary folk capable of killing a man? maybe, possibly self defence, survival instinct,...but how many of us are capable of then being calm and rational enough to skillfully skin and cook him?...could any of you kill a puppy?

well thankfully history recalls countless ordinary and extraordinary individuals, who under the most extreme and testing circumstances have shown forgiveness, kindness and self sacrifice, rather than hate vengeance and bloody revenge ...thankfully thats part human nature too.

I live in aberdeen. Reading this scared the Crap out of me, I'd only just moved here and i walked past that house everyday to get to school. It sends shivers up my spine to know that this really happened.
I Found out by reading a book called Blood stain, It scared the crap out of me, And im ashamed to say, In Aberdeen i now sleep with the light on. Her house, I have been inside of, The walls and such are covered with stuffed animals. SHE IS A REALLY BIG FREAK.
And for his house, My nan lived close by, And when visiting her I used to roll down the grass in his front yard as a kid. , Yes its the softest Grass in the world.
Anyway, . WHAT A CREEP.

To know the full storie, This women had a hard life, She was constently poked at, Now i know this is no excuse for the sick things that happened, But seriously it would had to of been provoked. fortunatly The police found the meals untouched on the table when they entered the house, The Kids had not been home as of yet, The Skin was hung from the archway between the kitchen and the lounge room The head was boiled and the Buttocks fat coooked and served with gravy and vegetables. Now, here's a question, How would you like to eat your dad for dinner, These poor kids sure did come close, After losing there mother, then eating there father, It would be unberable. How could you live with yourself finding out you had dad for dinner last night? it would be so insane, And way, Takeaway dad anyone?
Seriously now, what sick minded creature would go and purchase sexy clothes in order to seduce there next meal? Thats crazy. By purchasing the book BLOOD STAIN, You can find the details. This women is still serving life in prison, And to the person who thinks they have met her, Thats bullshit, she's not in goal, she's in a phyicatric ward. She, lived in aberdeen and worked as a butcher berfore her work closed down, Pricey was then employed by a dear friend of my, GEOFF BOWDITCH, Whom is never and could never speak of the terrible things pricey told and show'd Him. He was offered a place to stay but stayed as he didn't want to leave his kids alone with this women, He had worked so hard to keep them. He was petrified of what could or would happen to him or the kids., I attended A school in aberdeen for many years and discovered this Only as i was leaving that i had seen her and she seemed perfectly normal on the outside The house she lived in is now borded up, The person who say's this about the animals is telling the truth, Ive seen them. And The house of pricey is empty to this day. Thanks guys when i know more ill let you know.
Were it say's his body lay in the hallway for quite some time, This is because she made a cup of tea and smoked a ciggarett, The went on with her work.

I have read this book and found it very disturbing !!
Kathryn Knight has not had a kind "bone" in her body.
Her whole life has been based on anger. No love toward anyone in her life including her own children.
She tried to kill her own daughter when she was born by leaving her on train tracks.
She had pychological problems all of her life, and was also in and out of pych at her nearest hospital most of her life.
We wonder why???? why she was back out on the the street after it was proven that she had a mental disease!!!
This is where the problem is........ she should have been contained and had therapy years before it got to the point killing and skining price.
This is not a "laughing" matter and people should take it as serious as it is.
Reseach a bit more and you will find many case's like this! and the fact that it is not halirious or slightly amusing!!
This is not normal human behaviour!!! It's sick and unthinkable behavior.

Actually this sort of thing doesn’t surprise me one little bit. >>White Western Female<< are some of the biggest psychopaths that have ever walked the planet. And they have a standing legalized HATE movement against men called the >>Feminist Movement<<.


“And that is why we should all treat our wives with the respect that they deserve.”

You got it and>> they don’t deserve much<<.

Islam is looking better and better all the time.

The reality is Western Men have been placing, Women on Pedestals that they don’t belong on for a very long time. It is time for a reality check for men, especially in Australia, ground zero for feminism. WOMEN ARE NOT EQUAL TO MEN! Never have been, and never will be.

Don’t believe me, check out the devoice rates in western countries.

Some things Western Women Suck at.
Being a Wife
Being a Mother to your children
Being a decent Sex Partner
Being a Trustworthy Individual.
Having basic morality that isn’t centered around her.

Things Western Women are Good at.
Whining about how Men have violated their rights, and getting corrupt Western Politicians to go along with it.


OK men, GET A CLUE!
STOP MARRYING THESE BITCHES, and move on to greener pastures.

Here is where you can start, if you have the courage to face the truth.

Women ARE equal to men. and men ARE equal to women. what on earth do divorce rates have to do with anything? not all women are crazy like Katherine Knight, we aren't going to stab you to death.

By the way mr. anonymous, it's D-I-V-O-R-C-E. not D-E-I-V-O-I-C-E. And if you had even bothered to read the article properly to begin with, you would no they were not married but in a de facto relationship. and I know very few guys who put girls on pedestals, I think there would be about 2 of my friends boyfriends treat them adoringly, but other then that, all the guys I'm friends with just treat me like hey do their guy friends.Your text goes hereYour text goes hereYour text goes here

Women are equal to men like apples are equal to pears. we're different, face it, we stem from the same race, but beyond that we're different.

And perhaps women arent as low as the bible suggests, for men to command, essentially a byproduct of 'man', a mere companion. Women dont have it easy, they have to fight against prejudice of being the weaker sex. while physically this is 100% true. mentally we're equals, in today's age women should really be treated equally to men.

But us men get a little sick of the whole emancipation ordeal women cram down our throats. yes, we get it already, now GET BACK TO THE KITCHEN

Don't take it too seriously though, I'm just screwing with your heads.

Katherine Knight- the poster pin up girl for the feminist movement!

This is not a 1 of. This is happening all over Australia and is only a metter of time before it is seen again. Oh sorry- it has happened and weak gutless spineless courts are letting them walk free feeling sorry for them after using domestic violence as an excuse, when there is no documented case at all within the relationship. People should wake up and see the truth- some of the most evil people alive are women-

I know for fact as I was in a similiar relationship and fled for safety, even today 12 years later my new wife, daughter and I still fear my ex demented wife.

The courts & police do little and I have even been told to be a man and get over it. What a joke-if I defend my safety or that of my family I go to jail- where is justice?

I say beware to all men before you leap for that MISS PERFECT!

The Feminist movement should be banned by the government for it is as damaging as the racist laws we have in this country. To force rules down the throats of good men and women by a bunch of women hellbent on seeing the destruction of all men is wrong.

The feminist movement has sent womens rights back not brought them forward with the times. Women have a place in the family as do men- never the two should meet- we are different-that's that! I don't expect my wife to mow the yard of get up when there is a prowler- My wife also understands that I can't cook and looks after that- At the end of the day we have a great marriage and we know our places- the feminist movement says that women are better not equal- forget the hype- know your place regardless of sex and we get on! There are just as many evil women as there is bad men.

I agree with the last comment, you are all sick who have left flippent remarks. I live in Scone and my wife knew Pricey and the cold hearted bitch that killed him. If any of you who made the comments about this being "funny" you all should have a good look at yourselves.

Imagine if this happened to someone you knew or a family member, I bet you would not have the same opinion.

Before you make comment or think you know why she killed him (it had nothing to do with him assaulting her, he was trying to leave her but was afraid for his kids) try getting the facts right! She had years of violence which extended from her childhood and most people who knew her also knew of her violent tendencies.

Seriously you are all fucked and need to think before you open your mouth to say something stupid.

I'm currently reading "bloodstain", and to say this woman had a bit of a temper is the understatement of the year! What really amazes me is that with all the times she presented to police or at the local hospital, it seems noone called DOCs. Having been a nurse I know that mandatory reporting was up and running at this stage, so why didn't anyone ever have concerns about her parenting? Her aberrant behaviour was obvious all her parenting life, and I wonder how her kids have learnt to deal with lifes dissapointments? Also the comments about western women are generalist, but do have some truth in them. I'm a 46yo divorced mum with one son. My split was at my decision and amicable, never asked for child support, share of finances etc, and have not had another partner since (6yrs). However where I live, it seems a lot of women can go maybe 2 months max before hooking up with what they openly refer to a a meal ticket! Shame on you- learn to stand on your own two feet and concentrate on your kids, not your sex life!

Lady I commend you. Women like you are hard to find and a pleasure to meet. I have time for people that speak the truth and see faults in us all. You cannot love others unless you see the faults in ones self first.

I am a middle aged man with a young daughter and I believe that many people are unfairly discriminated against because of the way they look or because they are a man.

Once again I commend you.

I don't live in Scone, but I go there a few times a year, and have driven past the house.

There are people living there at the moment, right? I wonder if they know, though I suppose they must. It must be fairly cheap to rent.
