 Police wanted to charge Knight, but she changed her behaviour to ingratiate Kellett and talked him into dropping the charges.In May 1976, shortly after the birth of their first child, Melissa Ann, Kellett left her for another woman and moved to Queensland, apparently unable to cope with Knight's abuse.The next day, Knight was seen pushing her new baby in a pram down the main street, violently throwing the pram from side to side.
