Katherine Knight of Aberdeen, Australia, donned a sexy nightgown and had sex with her boyfriend, then stabbed him 37 times with a butcher's knife, skinned his body, cooked his head, and served him to his children. Evidence presented before a court in Canberra showed that she had planned the attack 48 hours earlier, and when the wounded boyfriend managed to escape the house, she dragged him back inside and finished him off. Knight had worked as a meat-slicer in a slaughterhouse, so she was able to expertly remove his head, face, nose, ears, neck, torso, genital organs, and legs, to create a pelt from his skin. She then took all the body parts to the kitchen, peeled and prepared some vegetables, and cooked the head in a stew. She also cooked "steaks," which she left as meals for the man's son and daughter. Her motive: the boyfriend wanted to end the six-year relationship and expel her from the house, which he wanted to save for his children. At press time Tobe Hooper, George Romero and Clive Barker were all angling for Lifetime Network film rights, with the lead role going to Kathie Lee Gifford.
