On 29th February 2000, John Price took out a restraining order against his girlfriend, Katherine Knight. Later that day, he told his co-workers that she had stabbed him and if he were ever to go missing, it was because Knight had killed him.
The next day, Price didnβt show up for work.
A co-worker was sent to check on him. They found a bloody handprint by the front door and they immediately contacted the police. The local police force was not prepared for the chilling scene they were about to encounter.
Priceβs body was found in a chair, legs crossed, with a bottle of lemonade under his arm. Heβd been decapitated and skinned. The βskin-suitβ was hanging from a meat hook in the living room and his head was found in the kitchen, in a pot of vegetables that was still warm. There were two plates on the dining table, each had the name of one of Price's children on it.
She was attempting to serve his body parts to his children.
Man-Eater is a dramatic and gripping account of the first women in Australia to be given a life sentence without parole and a special addendum βnever to be releasedβ. Ryan Greenβs riveting narrative draws the reader into the real-live horror experienced by the victim and has all the elements of a classic thriller.
