Did you mean Knox here?

bel, yes you're quite right, I should have said Knox - a slip of the brain I'm afraid!

There was quite a busy illegal traffic at that time in digging up newly buried bodies and selling them. Legally the only bodies that could be used were those of executed criminals but there were not enough to meet the demand. Burke and Hare took the business one step further and the freshness of the bodies they were providing was remarked upon and one or two were even recognised by people within the dissecting theatre, but it is alleged that Knox ensured that the recognisable aspects were the first to be subject to dissection.
