In this episode of You’re Killing Me, we head deep into rural Australia to uncover one of the most chilling crimes in the country’s history — the story of Katherine Knight.

Born into violence, raised in trauma, and forged in the blood and brutality of the abattoir, Katherine’s life spiraled from chaos into horror. What began as a story of abuse and survival ended in one of the most shocking murders ever committed on Australian soil — a crime so gruesome that even seasoned detectives were haunted by what they saw.

Through her upbringing, relationships, and descent into madness, this episode traces how a young girl from a broken family became Australia’s first woman to be sentenced to life imprisonment without parole.

A story of control, obsession, and unimaginable violence — this is the case of Katherine Knight.
