It looks like her lower jaw bone is exposed?

her teeth and jaw bone?

At least one press description does seem to indicate this could be so;

Echo 10 Nov
"The ears and nose had been cut off, and the flesh cut from one cheek. The flesh had been stripped off leaving the skeleton, the cheeks and forehead of the severed head presenting a most revolting appearance."

Does your supersize screen allow you to confirm her head is definitely still attached?

I've seen those pictures more than I care to admit, and if anyone can deduce from them more than the obvious fact that some deranged individual had the time and means to carry out his depraved ambitions, then I'm all ears, but just take a moment to re sensitise, and see this for the horror it is. Splitting hairs over decapitation, removing the face, burning organs. Christ, put personal theories aside, this was, and will always be, a truly horrific crime. We have the benefit of modern technology to help us make sense of a senseless thing, but let's not point score.

Not a criticism to Josh or Dave, at all. Just a reminder to all of us. We see these photos so much they can become trivial.

Meh,just a standard 120" bedroom screen here in Oz.Well,wall actually.PJ cost < $1K. BeeLink PC under $400. Takes up very little space. Just lie back and watch a movie. Remote keyboard and mouse.

Mary's head hasn't rolled off the bed or anything. No bolts holding it on. Seems attached

[Joshua Rogan]

Point taken, sir.

You can still call me by that special pet name, you know, our private one.

The comments about Marys injuries suggest she was "almost" decapitated, for that matter so were Polly and Annie.

The comments about Marys injuries suggest she was "almost" decapitated, for that matter so were Polly and Annie.

I think you’ve hit the nail on the head right there Michael.

As you’ve touched on before, there’s a running theme with the injuries inflicted by the ripper; he never quite completed most of his targeted wounds.

there must have been a reason why he chose to do this.

I know there’s an argument that he was disturbed and so some injuries he inflicted were incomplete but I favour that he did this on purpose.

from a psychological standpoint this ritual of not completing particular injuries is a way of highlighting his lack of satisfaction in what he was doing. Yes he may have felt satisfied in inflicting punishment, but its almost as though he never quite felt completely satisfied, like he was lost and something was missing.

For MJK he was searching for satisfaction by attacking her all over her body in a bid to complete, but no matter how hard he tried he couldn’t find it.

or maybe he finally did with MJK hence why some believe she was the last victim.

With MJK he essentially does a bit of everything, from attacking thumb to innards, breasts to thighs, face to uterus etc...

the key is to look for the areas which he attacked consistently over the course of his killing spree.

for me his real target was the uterus

he didn’t just hate prostitutes for what they did, he hated them for what he thought they were and what they represented.

he wasn’t curious about the female form by carrying out some sick experiment, his primary aim was to punish.

punish these women for wasting their lives by not caring for what they had, the ability to produce children.

for me, he had suffered some kind of trauma situated around his mother, wife or sister.

The kind of guy who loses a close female role model, either through childbirth or disease of the uterus. And then he sees these prostitutes with no care in the world for how they sell their bodies.

he was punishing them for being women who didn’t appreciate themselves.

just an opinion obviously.

I must admit, when I look at her face, or what’s left of it, it does look like her lower jaw is visible.

it’s hard to make out much but just from a quick initial glance that’s what I saw the very first time I looked at the photo.
