Poll: Organs/body parts removed or not?

[Trevor Marriott]

That's exactly why he worked for Bedfordshire and not the London Police force

Wasn't it Dennis Rader who killed the Oteros, not Ridgway?

Yes you are right thank you for pointing that out

This is mere speculation, but maybe the Ripper got them in a necklock? Enough pressure in the right place and somebody is going down straight away. I have actually seen somebody do this to somebody. They went limp almost straight away, and he lowered them to the floor. They were out for a couple of seconds, dazed or temporarily unconscious.

The killer's actual killing technique (as opposed to organ removal) is a separate discussion, surely? Unless someone's about to suggest that he strangled his victims whilst simultaneously removing parts of their body...

Hello Trevor. Thanks.

"But there is no evidence to show they didn't."

Umm, not exactly preferred detective language?

Cheers.

Going straight for the throat with a knife, with a struggling and unsubdued woman, would be a recipe for disaster.

Which is exactly what happened with McKenzie, and similarly with Stride, both hardly disasters from the killers perspective.
If quick enough the victim goes into shock.

Nothing points to the killer being the remover of the organs at the crime scene

Errrrrr so are we to also believe that asides from Kates missing Kidney, both the uteri of Kate and Annie were also removed by someone else other than the killer?

What are the real chances in all plausible likelihood that these same organs were removed by someone other than the ripper from two different members of the C5 sometime during transit from murder scene to post mortem table?

Once again, two uteri taken from two victims from what is strongly believed to be the same killer.

You're seriously telling us that it's a coincidence?

Come on out of fantasy land...

Presumably this same weirdo nipped into 13 Miller's Court, and emptied Kelly's abdomen and half her chest cavity after the real killer had fled the scene.

When were Annie Chapman`s organs supposed to be removed, if not when she was murdered ?

[Jon Guy]

The answer being that the killer was the only person with the opportunity to remove the organs.

What a ridiculous statement !

What a ridiculous statement !

Ok, tell me who and when (or at least when) please ?

Surely if you are intent on murder and you are brandishing a long blade knife which you subsequently use to cut the victims throat and then rip open the abdomen why not simply use the knife in the first instance.

For clarity, Trev, I’m not indulging in idle speculation when I say that the Ripper throttled his victims before cutting their throats, I’m citing the evidence that emerged through the postmortem and crime scene examinations. Swollen and protruding tongues, floridity in hand and neck tissues, clenched fists and so forth. Arterial jetting also proved beyond doubt that Chapman and Kelly were lying down as their throats were cut. Dr Brown said as much regarding Eddowes. The Ripper’s mode of attack might not make much sense to you, but it served him well. Eminently so given the fact that he escaped conviction.

[Wickerman]

Are soldiers not taught how to kill swiftly and silently in that fashion and did I detect a hint of sarcasm in your reply?

That technique was not developed in the late 19th century.
