Domestic violence: the real story

16 Aug: Woman walks free after murdering husband using ‘battered woman’ defence

laire McDonaldOn March 3, 2006, a woman who shot dead her husband from a “sniper’s nest” at their central Victorian property walked free from an Australian court after being charged with the murder of her husband. Not only was it murder, it was, according to the prosecution, a cold-blooded and calculated execution.

On 30 September 2004, primary school teacher, Claire Margaret MacDonald (pictured as she walks free from court), aged 39 at the time, put on a camouflage outfit and rubber gloves, grabbed her husband’s high powered rifle and hid in the bushes near where the family’s Land Rover was parked in a paddock on the couple’s property in Acheron in Victoria, and waited for her husband to arrive.

19 Jun: The domestic violence industry demonizes men

Domestic violence industry demonises men

(The following is an excerpt from Chapter seven of my book, Western Civilization under Siege.)

It has been shocking to watch the attempts to reduce domestic violence morph into a worldwide domestic violence industry determined to ignore evidence showing the complexities of violence in the home while avoiding prevention strategies that would tackle the real risk factors underpinning this vital social issue.

The whole thing is based on the erroneous notion that domestic violence is caused entirely by men, out of disrespect for women.

03 Apr: Domestic violence: Cannibal killer Katherine Knight

After sex, woman stabs husband to death and boils up his head with vegetables and invites his children to dinner

Katherine KnightThe media constantly trumpet the radical feminist line that males are violent killers, responsible for the majority of domestic viiolence.The story of sadistic killer Katherine Mary Knight may redress this imbalance somewhat.

On 29 February 2000, in what must truly be Australia’s most gruesome case of domestic violence, mother of four, Katherine Mary Knight, dubbed the “cannibal killer”, cold-bloodedly prepared for the violent  murder of her de facto husband, John Thomas Price, by sending the children away overnight. Then carefully selecting a sharpening steel and a long boning knife from her selection of butcher’s knives, Knight began honing the knife until it was razor sharp, in preparation for the grisly task ahead.

03 Apr: Female Domestic violence: Husband killer, Susan Falls walks free from court

Susan FallsOn 4th March 2006, Claire Margaret McDonald gasped and burst into tears as a Victorian Supreme Court jury found her not guilty of the execution style murder of her husband, Warren John McDonald.

The court was told that McDonald had donned camouflage gear and lay in wait with a high-powered rifle for her husband to approach. She fired six shots, mortally wounding her husband.

McDonald successfully used the “battered woman syndrome” defence, claiming she had suffered years of abuse at the hands of her husband.

Within days, Queensland woman, Susan Falls, (pictured) having probably read the media reports of Heather McDonald’s stunning acquittal, decided to execute her allegedly abusive husband in the same fashion, in what prosecutors would describe as a cunning, calculated murder.
