What about the actions of a long-term alcoholic wife-beater, then, John - which is how I see it. To me, what Bury did isn't in the least inconsistent with the idea of a violent piss-head. Specifically, the actions of one who freaked out after having whacked his missus just a little too hard (this time), and who didn't quite know what to do about it (or about himself) afterwards.

Or are you either as I possibly suspect sitting on the fence as reguards who was Jack the Ripper or going with the "Unknown local male" theory?
|
You suspect wrongly, John. I base my conclusions on the evidence, and I see nothing but the most superficial resemblance between Bury's crime and those of the Ripper.

Yes Sam, Bury was as you say a violent piss head but considering most serial killers are violent piss heads or at the very least tend to commit there murders having drunk heavily this fact doesn't exactly diminish Bury's Ripper candidacy.
Cheers

I haven't visited this thread for a while, but I'm happy to see that the bickering continues unabated. Thanks Colin and johns for the excellent photos. I'm sure many of us appreciate being able to view the locations.
I still can't see Bury scoring higher than a 3 on this scale. Even so, that would probably make him my favourite among the named suspects.

Maurice, I'm with you on your point that of the named suspects Bury is the most plausible.
Cheers

There's James Kelly who stabbed his wife in the neck. |

Thank you, John. On the way to the Bury home, the Tower Hamlets Cemetery

I gave Bury an 8. Him and Chapman, both proven murderers, are in my opinion the most likely of the known suspects to be the ripper.

Bury is also my pick of the known suspects.

Hi Curious and Anna and a warm welcome to you both- 
I recommend a new book on this subject The Trial of Jack the Ripper by Euan Macpherson. The author makes a good case for Bury also being the Whitechapel fiend. Not only because he killed his wife, there's more than that. He descibes a scenario which unfolds. I don't want to give it away, though.
It was a very reasonable price at amazon. Only $3 plus freight. So you might want to give it a try. 
Again, welcome to the discussion group,
Roy
