Was Mackenzie a copycat?

JtR hasn't been interrupted in Berner Street.
But since Schwartz could alert a policeman, he killed Liz and disappeared.

Another 'orrible shove.

Hello David.

"But since Schwartz could alert a policeman, he killed Liz and disappeared."

"Constable, come quickly. Malicious lady shover at #40 Berner. May cause a Cachous spill."

I agree with you Mr. Lucky and hence the need to assess each case separately as the multiplicitists (sic) demand...

Hi Greg

Yes, assess each case separately as the multiplicitists demand (apart from Nichols and Chapman! )

[Mr Lucky]

Hi Greg
Agree with you. Considering where these murders were taking place any of them could have been interrupted, most likely Stride, nichols, McKenzie.

Hi Abby

What about Coles?

Hi Lynn.

Ridiculous.

What Schwatz had witnessed was enough to frighten him.
And enough to call a policeman, in the East End September 88.

Hello David. Thanks.

Very well. On what charge does he summon the constable?

Hi Lynn

seriously, your "On what charge ?" wasn't a serious question.

If it was enough to frighten Schwartz, it was enough to summon a constable. Especially in Sept 88.

That you don't trust Schwartz is another debate.

Schwartz only claimed to run from the second man following him, not from the scuffle in the gateway.

Hi Wickerman

Schwartz was verbally threatened by BS man though.

Would Schwartz have felt threatened?

I'm sure he would have been.

I'm sure Schwartz, should he have stumbled into a policeman during his flight would have sought his assistance.

Forget Schwartz for a moment though. What is relevent to the whole assault is whether BS man felt it neccessary to break off the assault on the grounds that he had been interupted by Schwartz.

If he was JTR he might well have decided to cut his losses (no pun intended) and kill Stride,(she could after all identify him) and make off into the night before Schwartz returned with help.

Charge?

Hello David. Thanks.

Very well. On what charge does he summon the constable?

I suspect this is a tongue-in-cheek post but what the heck.

The duties of the police, then as now, were the protection of life and property, the maintenance of order, the prevention and detection of crime and the prosecution of offenders against the peace. The assault on Stride, if an injury was sustained, would have been an assault occasioning actual bodily harm under s.49 of the Offences Against the Person Act 1861. The assault itself and the production of a knife by pipeman were certainly more than enough to constitute a Breach of the Peace.
