Episode description
We’re all familiar with the typical motives for murder: jealousy, arguments, anger. But what happens when innocent people are killed for profit? Before life insurance schemes, two killers stalked Scotland, abducting their victims, gruesomely killing them, and then selling their bodies for cash. Who were William Burke and William Hare? How did they get away with these bizarre crimes for so long? And what ultimately brought them to justice? This is True Crimecast
