She was the first woman in Australia to be given a life sentence without any possibility of parole.

(Edited to add the link. I did add it originally, but I guess it doesn't post it if you also write in the body of the post? 🤷‍)

Damn it, the link didn't show on my post. I think maybe because I added text to the body of the post as well, and I guess you can't do both? 🤷‍ I've added the link to the post's body now though. Thanks for the heads-up!

A very strange and creative band named SKYND does songs on serial killers, and they have one for Katherine Knight. It's strangely beautiful and haunting.
