EPISODE SUMMARY: We meet Katherine Knight, a slaughterhouse worker who treated her partner, John Price, like a day at the office. From the "skin suit" curtain to the pot on the stove, this case is the reason why the Australian legal system created the "Never to be Released" file marker.

Warning: The legal transcript (AustLII) is the official court document. It contains the raw, unedited description of the crime scene. It is arguably more disturbing than any horror movie script.
