    That was the norm, sadly. I don't think we can read much into Kelly's living indoors, as comparatively few prostitutes would have had that luxury. I think the Ripper took his opportunities where he could, and he must have thanked his lucky stars to discover that his last victim had a place of her own.
    If you were a serial killer and wanted a witness to see your murder victim, how would you do that outdoors without the risk of getting caught?

      Leave the victim on public view is the simplest, in a location which is used.
      However I am sure that is not what you are thinking of my friend.

        Do more outdoor Nichols/Eddowes/Chapman-type murders, until the next opportunity for an indoor job came along.

          I can tell you Steve, it is actually impossible.

            Pierre,
            are you just saying it is impossible to exclude some degree of risk. Such is of course true of any serial killer.
            Of course that does not mean they put on a police uniform.

            • There's always going to be an element of risk to killing women, whether in the street, in a back yard or in someone's room. The ripper avoided being caught though and so we have to assume that he exercised caution to minimise those risks. If he hadn't have done that then we would have to put his avoidance of capture down to luck (and lots of it.)

                From the Star of 10 September:

                "I am afraid deceased used to earn her living partly on the streets. She was a very straightforward woman when she was sober, clever and industrious with her needle; but she could not take much drink without getting intoxicated. She had been living a very irregular life all the time I've known her."

                Go on and explain that one away Simon.
                She was a road sweeper?

                  Hi DJA,

                  Evening News, 8th September 1888—

                  “The supposition finds ready acceptance that the poor woman was murdered outside and taken into this yard, by those who knew the place well. This is upheld by the fact that spots of blood are lying thick in the narrow passage leading from the street into the yard, and the blood marks where the body was found must have been caused by its being deposited there, there being no signs of any struggle having taken place in the vicinity.”

                  Regards,

                  Simon
                  Were the 'spots of blood' in the passage noticed before the body was removed or after? If after, the spots if 'thick' (presumably congealed) could have been deposited during the removal process surely?
                  I won't always agree but I'll try not to be disagreeable.
