When 2 People Kill
What motivates people who, in many cases, are extremely intelligent and apparently socially stable, to form a duo to kill for pleasure? Sometimes one partner seeks to impress the other; at other times the pair goads each other into shockingly inhuman treatment of their victims.
This book profiles a range of diverse but equally chilling crimes, from the abduction, torture, rape and murder of Virginia Gai Morse, to the Birnie husband and wife team who killed teenage girls in Western Australia, to Australia's first known thrill killing of schoolgirl Rosalie Nolte.
These disturbing cases have one common element - each was committed by two killers who worked together to take the life of another human being. Perhaps the most frightening similarity between tandem murderers is their ordinariness. They could be the people next door.
