I'm looking for some background information on the Bachert lodger story if anyone can help, and also some information on the landlady's own later story, I'm having trouble sorting it out at the moment.
The landlady Bachert was refering to in his story was supposedly tracked down by a representative from Lloyds Weekly and gave her own revised account of Bachert's story, correcting some misinformation he had apparently presented to the press. This story was reproduced in the Cardiff Western Mail, which is where I read it, but it's hard to tell who said what and to who!
Part of the story the landlady corrects, (originally told by Bachert?) was that she had not seen her lodger, who she calls the 'Captain', addressing a parcel to be sent to George Lusk or putting anything inside a box, although she had seen the lodger with some frozen kidneys and he had given her one of them to eat. She also denies that she had seen the lodger writing letters addressed to the Central News Agency. She mentions that the lodger was living in a Model Dwelling House in the Aldgate area, and it seems she was more of a cleaner than a landlady and mentions his blood stained clothing. The lodger she describes also walked with a slight drag to his right leg and this is something that I have seen crop up before in other accounts of a suspect.
Does anyone have the full version of Bachert's story? Or can give me any further details on either tale?
Thanks
