Geoprofile of Jack the Ripper reveals Tabram and Nichols connection.

[MrBarnett]

That's totally wrong and misleading.

He pulled her skirt up but he ripped off her blouse. PC Barrett describes this. Meaning PC Barrett was looking at all her private areas exposed. Yes, a woman's bosom is her private areas too. They count, especially in sex crimes.

"don't count", lol.

Because you said so?

Can you point me in the direction of your source for the 'ripping off' of the blouse?

[Batman]

You might not have rejected them, but you keep harping on about the (single) wound to her (lower) private parts, as if the latter were the focus or target of the attack.
Someone losing it and punching multiple stab wounds with the point of a knife is nothing like deeply cutting a throat, slicing open an abdomen and extruding intestines, prior to removing one or more organs.

The reason why we 'harp' on about how all her sexual parts were attacked is that this makes it a sexual assault.

She died from blood loss and some of those wounds were sexual in nature. That makes it a sexual homicide.

His single stab to the groin which is so far apart from her other wounds as you so want to point out, tells us that it was a deliberate choice to attack her there. No accident. No coincidence.

A lust murder is a type of sexual homicide.

This has zero to do with a client getting upset and overreacting.

The OVERKILL seen in Tabram is seen elsewhere in JtRs murders also.

Hi Harry
so his MO and sig sprung fully formed and efficient with his first kill Polly Nichols?
what came before? nothing? he nailed it on his first attempt? I don't think so.

I'm not saying earlier crimes or murders didn't occur, Abby. I just don't believe Tabram was necessarily one of them.

And as Sam pointed out to you, the signature was not 'complete' because he didn't eviscerate Nichols, possibly because he was disturbed.

[Abby Normal]

Fantasies and urges, perhaps.
Well, he didn't, did he? Nichols' abdomen was cut several times, but he didn't proceed to remove any organs.

nailed the MO first time. yeah right

and couldn't perform the sig of getting to the organs because most likely disturbed.

I already gave this a while back on this thread or the other, so I see you obviously skipped that or don't know about this.

Her clothes were torn and completely disarranged, the bosom of the dress being torn away.

There. I am surprised you argued against this so long without knowing I have also been talking about this.

She wasn't stabbed through her clothes. So goodness only knows how you think he managed to stab her then?

[Abby Normal]

Tabram was not the result of an impulsive frenzied stabbing and there was nothing about her to suggest she was engaged in sex. She didn't rip apart her own clothes to get stabbed mostly naked and there was no sign of intercourse.

Her murderer did not stab through her clothing. He rendered her unconscious first.

He had ripped off her blouse and tore off other pieces of clothing. She didn't do that to herself. When she was naked, she was then stabbed repeatedly at her upper sexual organs and chest area and then she was stabbed in her private parts.

This is called a Lust Murder.

This is not an on the spot feud between prostitute and client.

ALL

Her murderer did not stab through her clothing

Is this true? I thought most of the wounds WERE through the clothes?

[Abby Normal]

Once. "Upper sexual organs" don't count as privates.Wrong. Lifting the skirts up - if Tabram hadn't lifted them up already - is not "ripping open her clothes". Be factual, please.

Nope. we all know prostitutes didn't lay on the ground and pull up there skirts Sam. but nice try.

The OVERKILL seen in Tabram's is seen elsewhere in JtRs murders also.

Were the majority of Tabram's wounds to her sexual parts?

Weren't there even more to get digestive organs?

And if you are committing a frenzied attack on a women and wounding pretty much every area of her body from her neck to her thighs aren't you likely to hit an area that may be construed as a private part?

This was the Victorian era - they covered the legs of their pianos for gawd's sake!

[Batman]

Nope. we all know prostitutes didn't lay on the ground and pull up there skirts Sam. but nice try.

I wonder if they even believe the murder of Tabram was a sex crime or not after just having read the above posts.

If not, then I am afraid JtR isn't the case for them.

[MrBarnett]

Not out on the streets, perhaps, but can we be sure they wouldn't consider it on a nice dry landing, Abbey. I'm not suggesting she did, just wondering how we could all know such a detail.

Hi harry

Fair enough.. but what are they then?

And as Sam pointed out to you, the signature was not 'complete' because he didn't eviscerate Nichols, possibly because he was disturbed.

and as I pointed out to Sam-its more than likely he was disturbed.

If 'they' are myself and Gareth, then I'd say we are open-minded about it. It's those who have closed minds who offer little to the understanding of the case.

Are they sex crimes or not?

Martha Tabram today would be classed a sexual homicide.

[Trevor Marriott]

That doesn't escape the fact he did attack her private areas didn't he?

Also didn't he rip open her clothes in order to do that, right?

He didn't stab through any of her clothing at all. He prepared her before stabbing her, right?

Tabrams clothes were described by a witness at the inquest as being in a state of disarray.There is no mention of her clothes being ripped or torn.

Thanks Gary

I know they were on a nice dry landing, but im trying to envision a scenario where this could all happen with the pissed off punter idea and really having a hard time of it--especially if most (or all) the wounds were NOT through her clothing.

is it true-were the stab wounds NOT through the clothing?
