[edit] Was he alone?

I don't recall the name of the book off my memory, but I read that the thugees were a group, and they conducted murders in groups, not just Behram alone. So, I wonder if he can be put into this list as the killer in all these cases. --Ragib 18:23, 27 May 2005 (UTC)

In "The Top Ten of Everything 1996" (ISBN 0-7894-0196-7, Page 65) they cite Behram as being convicted at his trial of personally committing 931 murders. It also says the cult itself is estimated to have killed upwards of 2,000 people. MrB

[edit] Manuscript sources

I have updated this stub to take into account the original source for the statement that Behram killed as many as 931 people. His statement has been read out of context and, in addition, his actual confession was to actively participating in the killing of no more than 125 people. Mikedash 14:03, 28 November 2005 (UTC)
