Welcome to hell. The true story of Scotland’s notorious serial killers, Burke and Hare.

In his prison cell, William Burke confesses to a journalist that he took part in 16 murders in the space of ten months.

In the witness box at the High Court, Hare’s wife, Margaret, also accuses Burke of killing Madgy Docherty - who had travelled from Ireland to Edinburgh in search of her son.
