Burke and Hare: A Terrible Pair

Burke and Hare: A Terrible Pair

Clara tells Sabrina about a terrible pair of Williams, who decided that robbing graves was just too much work, and opted to end their victims lives before they entered the ground in the first place. Wanting to keep those medical schools stocked with fresh cadavers, but most importantly keep their pockets stuffed with cash, Burke and Hare fast-tracked their supply by offing people themselves. So grab your chests and a bottle of whisky, and join us in Edinburgh to hear all about the gruesome twosome!
