London Burkers

The London Burkers were a group of body snatchers operating in London, who apparently modelled their activities on those of the notorious Burke and Hare. They came to prominence in 1831 for murdering victims to sell to anatomists, by luring and drugging them at their dwelling in the northern end of Bethnal Green, near St Leonard's, Shoreditch in London.
