	Description:		William Burke and William Hare murdered sixteen people in the space of about a year in the city of Edinburgh, Scotland. Burke was thirty-six and Hare twenty-one-years old. Many of their victims were plied with alcohol until they passed out and then Hare lay on the body as Burke closed the mouth and nostrils in a fairly novel method of killing that came to be called “burking.” They then transported the corpses in a tea chest, sometimes in broad daylight, to Dr. Robert Knox.
