Er, did Neville Robertson miss this too?
Is Being A Woman Sufficient Defence?
A New South Wales grandmother who skinned and cooked her de facto husband will plead with a court to overturn her life sentence - because she is a woman.
The truth’s getting awefully close now eh Neville?

Hi Intrepid,
I’m haven’t heard of any TV reports on tis, but haven’t gone looking for them.
The following is graphic enough for me -
Knight worked as a slicer and packer at Aberdeen Abattoir and her lover had been carefully skinned and his skin hung on a meat hook in a doorway at the house.
His decapitated head was found in a pot on the stove. The table had been laid for dinner with name cards for Mr Price’s three children and parts of his buttocks cooked and served up with vegetables and gravy on dinner plates.
The savage attack with a butcher’s knife was triggered by Mr Price taking out an apprehended violence order against Knight the week before.
Their relationship had a long history of abuse, with Knight the abuser.
The couple had sex before the murder and it was believed Mr Price was asleep when he was attacked.
So-called “snuff” movies were among violent videos found at her house.
Sentencing Knight, Justice Barry O’Keefe said she had engaged in acts of violence against other former partners including her three ex-husbands.
She had smashed the false teeth of one man and slashed the throat of another’s eight-week-old puppy in front of him.

I have read this woman’s life story and basically she is insane. It was a premediatated and hideous murder and she had attacked several men she was involved with. I havent read the latest article but I can’t see that she would get much support from event ardent feminists. she was not mistreated by the men in her life and her history of violence was life-long. She would be better off trying for a defence of being a wild animal.
