Turning The Tables

One of my favorite quotes goes something like “Be careful who you mess with. Some people are holding shit in you could never imagine, and you’ll catch an ass-whooping that wasn’t meant for you.” Some anticipated victims turn the tables on their attackers and get sweet revenge upon those who wronged them.

Woman Stabbed Man 61 Times, Tied His Body to Car, and Dragged it Nearly a Mile

Australian woman Roxanne Eka Peters said that 51-year-old Grant Jason Cassa sexually assaulted her at her Capalaba home on December 1, 2015. She did not report the attack to authorities. 

Three days later, Cassar returned to Peters’ home. He ordered her to have sex with him or he would attack her daughter.

Peters, 32 years old at the time, walked into her kitchen, retrieved a knife, and repeatedly stabbed Cassar in the chest and penis. The New Zealand Herald reported Peters yelled, “You don’t rape me,” as she stabbed Cassar.

Authorities reported Cassar sustained a total of 61 stab wounds to his body, including several four-inch wounds to the chest.

Peters, who worked as a pharmacy assistant, wasn’t finished. 

She tied a rope around Cassar’s neck and body and tied him to the bumper of her vehicle, dragging him about six-tenths of a mile before dumping his mutilated remains in a ditch.

Cassar’s remains were discovered the next day.

Peters pleaded guilty to manslaughter and interfering with a corpse. She was sentenced to serve a total of 10.5 years on both charges. Judge David Boddice considered the rape when sentenced Peters.

He Murdered The Man His Wife Claimed Had Raped Her

In November 2015, an Indonesian man named Rudi Efendi murdered a man who he suspected had raped his wife. He cut off the man’s penis, took it home, and fried it atop the stove. He served the man’s severed and cooked penis at dinner for himself and his wife.

When Rudi married his wife in September 2014, he soon discovered that she was not a virgin. The woman told Rudi she was not a virgin because she had been raped a week before their marriage. Her rapist, she claimed, was a man whom she used to date who became her driver.

Rudi ordered his wife to call her attacker to request he meet up with her at a location in Bandar Lumpung. The man agreed. When he arrived, Efendi awaited him with a knife that he used to stab him to death and remove his penis. Afterward, Efendi set the man’s vehicle on fire. Authorities later recovered his badly burned remains in the car.

Woman Stabs Convicted Sex Offender to Death As He Attempted to Assault Her

On March 4, 2024, a woman stabbed a convicted sex offender to death after he attempted to rape her as she washed laundry at a laundromat in Lacombe, LA, a small town about 50 miles northeast of New Orleans.

Police received a 9-1-1 call reporting an unresponsive man at the laundromat off U.S. 190  following a call from a woman reporting that she had stabbed a man inside the same laundromat.

Authorities found 40-year-old Nicholas Tranchant, a convicted sex offender, severely wounded and suffering several stab wounds. He was transported to a local hospital, where he died.

An investigation determined that Tranchant entered the business in broad daylight, brandishing a sharp weapon. He held it to the woman’s body and attempted to rape her. The woman fought Tranchant, took the sharp object from his hand, and stabbed him with it before fleeing to safety.

The woman will not be charged in the incident.

Tranchant had several criminal convictions against him, including his first sexual offense in 2002. He was 19 years old.
