Once Hare returned to his home in Tanner's Close, he took his anger at the added complication by shooting the horse dead. While Burke was executed, Hare managed to escape the death sentence by confessing in detail to all of the crimes the pair committed. However, the people of Edinburgh were furious about the murders and wanted to see some justice.
Hare was eventually released from custody on 5th February , and sent in disguise to Dumfries. While he was travelling on the mailcoach, one of his fellow passengers recognised Hare from the courtroom and soon word spread in Dumfries of Hare's arrival.
The police managed to help him escape the baying mob, taking him away from the town in the early hours of the morning. He was eventually set down on the Annan Road and told to walk to England. From there, he disappeared without a trace. Where did he end up? And did he claim any other victims before he died? We'll probably never know When the work was finished, he moved into a lodging house near the Grassmarket owned by the wife of William Hare ? Shortly after this, a fellow lodger died owing Hare some money.
To recoup his losses, Hare decided to sell the body to Dr Robert Knox, a private anatomy teacher who had set up classes in competition with those run by the University. Burke and Hare realised this could be a lucrative income and, too inpatient to wait for people to die, they took to murder to supply the anatomy schools. The Hares were arrested the following day. In accordance with the law, his body was handed to the medical school for dissection and his skeleton is displayed in the Anatomical Museum to this day.

Mary Haldane was well known in the area and finally suspicions began to be voiced about Burke and Hare. Their next victim was even better known, a young man known as Daft Jamie.
Several of Knox's students recognised him. Knox denied that the corpse was Daft Jamie, but unusually commenced the dissection on this face. Her body was discovered hidden under a bed in the lodging house by two lodgers, James and Ann Gray. Burke and Hare removed and sold Mary Docherty's body before the police arrived, but told inconsistent stories about her when arrested: and then Docherty's body was found at Knox's anatomy school.
The case was reported in the Edinburgh papers on 6 November The prostitute, Janet Brown, went to the police, and was able to identify clothing found at the lodging house as belonging to Mary Patterson. Despite all this, the case against Burke and Hare was not watertight, so Hare was offered immunity from prosecution if he confessed and agreed to testify against Burke who had, according to Hare, committed the actual murders.
His testimony led to Burke's execution on 28 January
