The Butchers

Brian Lane

For centuries criminals have tried to get away with the perfect crime. But for the perfect murder, killers have long realised: no corpse, no murder. In this study of over 30 cases, the author uncovers to what lengths murderers went to conceal the evidence. Their savage but ingenious methods included grinding bodies into sausages, eating them, feeding them to pigs and flinging them into acid baths. However meticulous and brilliant, none of them actually got away with the crimes.
