But it works the other way too Trevor.
Right next to the entry was an open pit, surrounded by iron railings.
The railings can be seen here.
We had the same in our first house. As you can see in the photo the lower window at ground level is bricked up, so was ours. But my point here is that the pit is something like 4-5 ft deep, and likely collects whatever rubbish blows around. The organs may have been down in that pit, we have no mention of the police searching it. At the time the police theory seems to have been that the rag was only used to wipe his hands, so no police bothered to look for spilled organs.
If, the killer was carrying the organs in the piece of apron, as I always believed, and threw the bundle at the doorway as he ran passed, they may have spilled out as the bundle hit the wall/archway and ended up down in that hole.
It was not planted, it wasn't intentional, the bundle was thrown away into the doorway, in desperation as he may have seen an officer coming up the street. The fact there was some graffiti close by was irrelevant.
It certainly changes the scene from ones amagination of the crime scenes.
It makes even more sense that the rag was left to be found.
But if it wasnt meant to be found and just dropped / disposed by the killer without much thought, I would amagin there was a good chance the killer lived there.
I know that apparently the police did some door to door enquiries, but we dont really know how thorough.
It seemed just abit going as "through the motions".

Thanks Aethelwulf. It challenges credulity that she would/could do such a thing. To my mind there are three major (and imho quite obvious) stumbleing blocks to the theory of Catherine destroying the apron herself.
