what other motive would there be to explain those injuries, and the direction of those cuts, especially as none had been see in any other of the victims.

With the time available to him, and likelihood he was disturbed, and made of quickly.
What other explanation is as valid ?

What other explanation is as valid? The one the witnesses suggested when they analyzed the crime scene, seems like a good start.

If the killer first attacked her from behind and was attempting to cut her throat, whilst behind her, while holding her from behind, it would be a normal reaction for any person in the same situation to try to prevent that by trying to move there head away from the knife.So the angle of the cuts might point to just that happening.
I dont think the cuts were a deliberate act by the killer especially as nothing of this nature had taken place with any of the previous victims. Perhaps Eddowes was able to put up more of a fight than others.

The relative simitary of the wounds on ever side of the faceleaves me thinking Not.
Thanks

What is valid from the wounds is a botched attempt at skinning.
However it's certainly not conclusive.

The Daily News reported:
"...There was no blood on the throat part of the jacket or dress."
Is this guesswork?
Looks like direct observation to me.
If a person had their throat cut while standing, the blood spurts out and the collar, breast and outer clothing down the front is naturally bloodstained.
It strikes me that the one who is guessing Trevor, is you.Regards, Jon S.

Try an experiment with another person lay them on their back and see if you could get yourself into a position when you would be able to cut the throat to the point of decapitation as was described by the injuries to the throat and neck.

It's actually not difficult, unfortunately that proves nothing either way, however it certainly does not support the idea you propose.
I was hopeing for some insight from your Personal experience.

This is simple.
In most cases two cuts were in evidence. The first kills the victim by slicing the juglar. The killer then grasps the victim by the hair and pulls the body upright into a sitting position, and slices around the neck in a quick sweep of the knife, then casts the body down on its back again.
It takes barely several seconds.
Where's the problem?Regards, Jon S.

So what is the account, and explanation, and motive to suggest the killer specifically targeted the face, especially as the cuts are mostly all at the same angle across the face, when no other victims had similar facial injuries.
How did the killer get the victim into the position you describe to be able to cut the jugular?
How did he manage to subdue her in the first instance to do what you suggest?
How did he manage to put her at ease?
My interpretation of the medical evidence is that the killer stabbed the victim in the throat from behind, and then drew the knife across with great force. That couldn't be done with the victim on her back in my opinion. The angles would be all wrong.
Dr Brown believed death was almost instantaneous by the way the knife was stuck in her throat, so that is why there is a distinct lack of blood at the crime scene, and why no sounds were heard, that first wound severed the vocal chords and larynx, that would not result in a mass blood loss.
Whoever killed her and some of the other victims, knew how to do so using a knife, of that there is no doubt in my opinion.
And I would be happy to hear in this case, why with limited time available, the killer takes time to mutilate the face, then takes time to be artistic with his knife by cutting the eyelids. He then stabs her through her clothing, and then lifet up her clothes, and rips open the abdomen and by reason of that and with even greater difficulty, then removes a uterus and a kidney, and then takes time to cut or tear a piece of apron from an apron she was wearing, and apron that on the face of it was the most difficult item of all the clothing to get hold off, and then he nonchalantly walks off into the darkness carrying incriminating evidence and not to mention the knife.
I might agree if the killer had unlimited time with the victim but that wasn't the case was it, and besides there is the likelihood that he was disturbed by Pc Harvey limiting the time even more that he would have had with the victim
It constantly amazes me on here, you and others ask for other alternatives and when they are shown to you disregard them outright, and what do we get, "Wheres the evidence" "Where are the sources"
As far as evidence is concerned and the testing off it. Yes I agree, it has not been tested, and there are grounds for asking why wasnt some of it tested back then, but the passage of time will not now allow us to do so. But what we can do is to look at what the evidence is and to identity the flaws and how it would or should have been tested. Then we can ask ourselves can we really now totally rely on that evidence. The answer is no we cant, if we can identify flaws they may change the way we look at this mystery and everything connected to it;
But some cannot see or dont want to see the flaws
Its called not being blinkered from the truth

Are you saying cutting someone's throat while standing up is impossible? Or that it's harder to do than the multi step method you describe, of first wrangling the victim to the ground, then cutting their throat?
Because I find the method described in the article to be not only medically possible, but very quick and efficient. And very deadly. The killer and victim are facing each other standing up. The killer issues the deadly throat cut, severing the victim's windpipe, which causes an embolism, resulting in death. And oh yes, the victims falls down, too.
Your method, Wickerman is the one that is worst. The multi-step scenario.
