New episodes of season 2 wi...

I Knew I Hit Him Straight Away

What Katherine Knight did to her partner John Price wasn't just murder, it was something far more twisted.

What Katherine Knight did to her partner John Price wasn't just murder, it was something far more twisted. Katherine was a woman consumed by two things: a crippling fear of abandonment, and an insatiable need for control, enforced through violence, manipulation, and sexual exploitation. Most Australians know the horror of how John Price died. What they don't know is the decades-long history of abuse Katherine inflicted on the men in her life, and anyone else she deemed an obstacle. Which raises an uncomfortable question, if a man had done to women what Katherine did to men, would he have been stopped years earlier?

In this episode of I Catch Killers, Gary Jubelin is joined by Rojé Augustin, whose new book The Butcher of Aberdeen, delves into Katherine’s chilling past shaped by childhood trauma, violent relationships, and a relentless descent into madness.

Rojé Augustin is the author ofThe Butcher of Aberdeen: An Australian Story of Sex, Madness, and Murder.

Katherine Knight: The life of Australia's most shocking female killer | Roje Augustin Pt. 1

Wrongful convictions exposed: Neil Mercer & Gary Jubelin dissect the Harry Blackburn scandal, flawed DNA evidence & justice system failures.

Veteran journalist and author Neil Mercer returns to I Catch Killers for part two of his confronting examination of wrongful convictions in the Australian justice system. 

In this episode, Neil and Gary Jubelin revisit one of the most embarrassing periods in NSW Police history: the case of Harry Blackburn, a former police superintendent publicly branded a serial rapist and paraded before the media before he was ever formally charged. They unravel the extraordinary chain of failures that led to his very public downfall, a saga that only ended when a Royal Commission finally exposed the truth. 

They also unpack DNA evidence, long considered the gold standard in forensic science, and just how far from infallible it can be, and the broader, systemic issues that allow innocent people to be wrongly convicted: unreliable eyewitness identification, the historical use of "police verbals" and false confessions, inadequate legal representation, and the unique challenges faced by First Nations Australians navigating a justice system not built with their language or culture in mind.

Neil Mercer is the author of Falsely Convicted: True Stories of Injustice in Australia.

The innocent cop falsely labelled as a serial rapist: Neil Mercer Pt. 2

Neil Mercer reveals Australia's worst wrongful convictions—Josephine Greensill and Andrew Mallard—exposing justice system failures

What happens when the justice system gets it catastrophically wrong? Neil Mercer has spent over five decades as a journalist unafraid of the hard stories, as evidenced in his latest book Falsely Convicted. 

In this episode, Neil joins Gary to unpack two of Australia's most shocking miscarriages of justice. First, the wrongful conviction of schoolteacher Josephine Greensill, whose life was torn apart by allegations from two former students dredged up from three decades earlier. Then, the case of Andrew Mallard, who was wrongfully convicted for the 1994 murder of Perth shopkeeper Pamela Lawrence. Gary also shares a confronting personal account from his early career as a detective, illustrating how difficult it can be to halt the "machinery of the justice system" once it's in motion, even when doubts about guilt begin to surface.
