51: Katherine Knight: The Abattoir of Aberdeen | True Crime Sleep Stories
Update: 2025-11-12
Description
G’day to our Aussie listeners (and everyone else) - this one’s for you!
In the quiet Hunter Valley town of Aberdeen, in Australia, beloved miner and father John Price trusted the wrong person. What began as a volatile relationship ended in a crime so shocking it earned Katherine Knight the title of Australia’s most horrific female murderer.
From her traumatic childhood to her chilling expertise in an abattoir (a slaughterhouse where animals are processed for meat), we trace the red flags ignored until it was too late. This is a sobering look at untreated mental illness, domestic abuse, and a betrayal that scarred a family forever.
