I am sure this has been raised before but I will ask again. Why were there no murders in October 1888?
How do we explain this hiatus?
What do people think happened?

Possibly spooked after the double-event? Kept a low profile as he thought he was seen (the sighting by "the City P.C. who was on a beat near Mitre Square")?. That could also be the reason his next victim was murdered indoors.Originally posted by Losmandris View PostComment

Partly I'm with Trevor, he was out of the country.JTR was a visitor, although he knew the area.Partly, in October,maybe it was the house to house searches in the District,the thousands of flyers,the additional police personnel/patrols,although useless because he was out of the country or district.Partly it was something else.Last edited by Varqm; 10-05-2022, 03:58 PM.Clearly the first human laws (way older and already established) spawned organized religion's morality - from which it's writers only copied/stole,ex. you cannot kill,rob,steal (forced,it started civil society).

You might just as well ask why did he kill in September (the Double Event)? The answer is the same in both cases. We don't know.

Being seen was part of it,Long,James Brown probly,that did not spook him.But I guess 2 murders at one time and the police were getting aggressive were part of it.Clearly the first human laws (way older and already established) spawned organized religion's morality - from which it's writers only copied/stole,ex. you cannot kill,rob,steal (forced,it started civil society).

I'm of the opinion this is the most over-thought aspect of the murders. I think the answer is clear:Originally posted by Losmandris View Post
The News 22nd October
Whitechapel swarms with police of every class. Every man will be specially urged to make unusual efforts, and warned of the fate that will overtake him on whose beat a murdered woman is found. Every dark corner and alley will hold one or two detectives. Others will be eavesdropping on the pallets of every lodging house so that the murderer, no matter how good his intentions, may be excused for postponing his crime or moving to some new neighborhood.
Openshaw letter, which I think could be genuine ties in with this:
i was goin to hoperate agin close to you ospitle just as i was going to dror mi nife along of er bloomin throte them cusses of coppers spoilt the game
There is also a reference to anyone in a wideawake being stopped and searched in October
No mystery IMO

Part of it too.I believe in an intruder theory in MJK's case,the lurking guy seen by Sarah Lewis looking up the court,I think he was trying to get in and kill her.He must have known Kelly was without a partner.If a client the MJK murder would have been as quiet as Eddowes's,no cries.Originally posted by DJA View Post

It’s been suggested that the killer might have taken a piece of apron away from Mitre Square because he’d cut himself during the murder of Catherine Eddowes and that he used it to wrap around the wound. It might have been the case then that the wound became infected and put him out of action for the duration of October?
Just a suggestion to add to the list of possibles which would include all of the above.Regards

I tend to think that the murderer may have had a number of abortive attempts in October but got spooked, so did not go through with it.Best wishes,
