Hello Damaso. Thanks for that intro.
"the poster Lynn Cates is famous. . ."
Err, infamous, perhaps?
". . . for his claim that Eddowes (and also Stride and Kelly, but that's not unique) were done by a different hand from Chapman and Nichols. His major arguments for this are: the Eddowes mutilation was considered "less skillful". . .)
Correct.
". .. (implicit there is the assumption that Nichols and Chapman WERE skillfully mutilated). . ."
Actually, that's not an assumption. Baxter (rightly or wrongly) said as much.
". . . that there were differences in how Eddowes was killed and cut (cut up versus down, one throat cut instead of two, no sign of strangulation). He has a few others, but they don't relate to the mechanics of ripping."
Bravo. Well spoke.
"Further, Lynn also suspects that Chapman and Nichols were killed by a madman who was observing horse butchering, and replicating what he had seen done to horses on prostitutes."
Correct again. But I also think that he was shaking down prostitutes for loose change. When refused, I think he lashed out like an angry child. Note the strangulation attempt on his wife.
If I die suddenly, you may certainly have my mantle (of course, it's a bit mouldy and in need of cleaning--heh-heh)
Cheers.
