      Bury sounds interesting but I'm firmly in the camp that at least some of the torso victims were killed by Jack. I feel if we are going to make some "breakthrough" it will probably be in the torso cases which have been oft overlooked and not researched anywhere near as throughly.

      If I had to stick to just the C5 Bury probably has the strongest case so far. Unfortunately I still believe we don't know the name of Jack or his name has been mentioned briefly but we simply can't connect the dots due to lack of evidence.

        I feel similarly about the Torso murders. When you consider that the Whitehall victim may have been killed on the same week as Annie Chapman, and both victims had their uterus removed, that's got to be more than an eerie coincidence.

          Er...except that none of the canonicals died from strangulation, but from massive cuts to the throat.

            Agree with both you and Dane

              Several of them had evidence of strangulation as did Tabram. And if not killed then at least brought to unconsciousness.

                The Whitehall torso didn't have the uterus "removed", as far as can be known.... except in the sense that everything below the waist was removed. An arm and a lower leg were recovered separately, but the pelvis was never found, so whether or not the uterus was still inside it can only be speculated at.

                  Was a rope involved?

                    True enough. But in my book there's a massive difference between strangling someone to death (with a rope, as Sam says) vs choking someone unconscious and then trying to cut their head off.

                      Simple and clear!

                      Those who don't accept this, they just DON'T want to, because they have a specific suspect in their minds..

                      Thank you.

                        Why did bury, if his wife is already dead by strangulation, feel the need to cut her abdomen to the point where her guts are hanging out?

                          As the throats were cut (sometimes twice), we might not necessarily know if a ligature was used. Also, one of the Whitechapel victims (Mylett) was definitely strangled.

                            You may be right, but I believe medical opinion was divided in the case of Mylett

                              Our problem is that there are Whitechapel murders, and then there are Ripper murders.

                                There is evidence that a ligature was involved in several of the C5.
