Burke and Hare's Murder of a Cinder Gatherer
Burke and Hare murdered a cinder gatherer that Burke thought maybe went by the name Effie. The pair enticed Effie into the barn with alcohol and they said you can rest in the barn as well. And once she had fallen asleep, they quote, laid a cloth over her and suffocated her as they did the others. Now according to Burke, the pair shot the horse on their return to the boarding house because it wouldn't walk any further.
