The Latin phrase "mortui non morden" when translated word-for-word is dead men don't bite. However, the phrase is used to underscore the belief that killing one's enemies or victims is the surest way for them to never speak of what happened, and as such, the phrase "mortui non morden" really means dead men tell no tales.
