Who Is Katherine Knight?

 


Katherine Mary Knight was born in 1955, in Tenterfield, New South Wales, Australia on October 24 to Ken Knight and Barbara Roughan. Katherine had a twin sister, Joy, and five brothers. Barbara Roughan was married to Jack Roughan, but she had an affair with his co-worker, Ken Knight resulting in the birth of Katherine. Both families were very well-known, therefore the affair was looked down upon which forced Barabara to move. Katherine was raised in a very conservative town and her family was very dysfunctional. Ken Knight was an alcoholic, and he was sexually and physically abusive towards Barbara Roughan. Roughan went into many details about her sex life and shared those details with her daughters and expressed how much she hated men and sex. Katherine explained that she was sexually abused by several members of her family members until she was 11. 

In school Katherine was known as a bully, there was one incident that happened where she assaulted a young boy with a weapon. During another incident, she was injured by a teacher in self-defense against her. Many people stated that when Katherine was not angry, she was a good student and would receive many awards for good behavior. She dropped out of school at the age of 15 and became a cutter at a clothing factory. After a few months, she started working as an abattoir worker, which was her dream job. 

Katherine had four children altogether with three different partners. Melissa Ann and Natasha Maree with David Kellett. Sarah with David Saunders and Eric with John Chillingworth.

Do you think Katherine's early life caused her to act out?
