Alexander Pearce was an Irish convict and thief who was sentenced to seven years of hard labor on Sarah Island, the Macquarie Harbour on the west coast of Tasmania in March 1822. Shortly after his arrival, Pearce and seven other inmates escaped and became fugitives. Pearce later confessed to killing the other men with an axe and eating their remains for sustenance and survival. Pearce was found guilty of murder and hanged in the Hobart Town Jail on July 19, 1824.
