Patterns formed by murder locations

[Sherlock Holmes]

Victaella

Can you honestly that these weren't ritualistic?

[moonbegger]

We don't know that the murderer was actually finished compiling his pattern. If, say, he died suddenly, how would we know what shape he wanted to form?

And now , all of a sudden i hear the dulcet tones of Rolf Harris saying " Can ya tell what it is yet "

It's my belief he was trying to draw this :

Made me spill my drink with that one

Although I find the whole "connecting the dots" thing entertaining, I also think it's pointless, but we have to remember that looking for and "finding" patterns is human nature (like when you see a face on the tiles of the bathroom or on the wall's texture). Personally, I don't think he was trying to "draw" any kind of shape with the murders locations, because that would imply the killings were, to some degree, ritualistic and I highly doubt that.

Cheers,

It forms an IRREGULAR HEPTAGON

The question here is, what significance do you attach to this shape?

[Phil H]

The number may not be arbitrary, but the choice of murders is.

I assume it had to be seven

[Phil H]

Entirely serious Sherlock

Pinchen St is south of Berner St, beside a set of railway arches.

Timescales strike me as important because, if you:

A) are doing magic and seek to creata shape, I suspect that time is of the essence; or

B) if you are simply seeking to make a mark you need something to draw attention to those particular murders. Time would be one possibility as a connector - all women killed with X days/weeks.

By the way - you chose the 7 sites - I was asking the question why those 7, of you.

[DVV]

Bucks Row and the Wilson case suggest a killer that could have connections with both Whitechapel and Bethnal Green.
Too bad there is no serious suspect from BG,

[Sherlock Holmes]

I'm not sure Phil my guess as to why those 7 would be easy access. As for why Martha there is no evidence supporting the claim that Martha was actually a victim of "the ripper".

Where in London is Pinchen st?

The timescale? Does that really matter?. No as far as I know a delay would not rule out those spots

i'm ENTIRELY SERIOUS by the way.

Kindest regards
Sherlock

[Phil H]

WHY those 7? Why in that order?

Why Martha?

Why not Pinchen St

Within what timescale would a figure have to be created - does the delay rule out Millers Court?

McKenzie - Castle Alley?

Not sure whether you are being humourous or not, SH. The points are for others, if not for you?

[Sherlock Holmes]

I have connected the dots marking the murder scenes in the following order

Buck's Row
29 Hanbury St
Miller's Courts
Goulston St
George Yard Buildings
Mitre Square
Dutfieds Yard
And back to Buck's Row

I don't think the pentagram became associated with Satanism until the 20th century.

Was there even "Satanism" per se, until the 20th century?

[RivkahChaya]

Hello Rivkah. But does this not sound just a bit oracular?

Oh, and have you ever noticed how psychics always say bodies will be near water-- not in it, but near it? And they're always getting either the letter J, or L, or maybe M.

I always wanted to go to a psychic, and see if they could get info on a friend of mine who was Israeli, you know, if they'd get a "mem," or a "yudh," even though they didn't know the Hebrew alphabet.

[Bridewell]

Proponents of five victims mention a pentagram, an M, the Ichthys symbol, etc.
