Suspect Witnesses?

[GBinOz]

I think Stride was probably lured into the passageway with the promise of something. She took some convincing. Perhaps Overcoat Man was a gentile, but with some association with someone(s) at the club. Hence the protective stories about a man pursued and the witnessing of an assault at the gateway by a man who shouts 'Lipski'. What did OM believe the Juwes would be blamed for?

Hi Andrew,

So who was present to make this promise. It is unlikely that it was her antagonist, BSMan. It could have been Pipeman acting in the White Knight role after warning off BSMan. IMO the critical question is...where is Parcelman.

Cheers, George

Hi George.

Not necessarily anyone if he is a sneaker f***k*r, and not necessarily anything tangible. Perhaps it's the promise of getting her a gig (broadly defined) at the club. I think the statement "Not tonight, some other night" is interesting - she isn't accepting his offer, nor is she indicating he should give up trying. He's tempting her with something.

I don't know if this is Parcelman, or that person has gone off. That latter might indicate that Stride was happy to chat to 'randoms' on the street.

Three women had been brutally murdered in the previous few weeks within not more than a few hundred yards away to the gates of the club and the killer is still at large. A man comes along who manhandles Liz outside said gates and then persuades her to go into a darkened yard with him. Where upon she herself is violently killed with no defence wounds and in fact it seems the opposite, that Liz was in a relaxed state [ cachous in hand ]. The first physician on the scene - Blackwell says I formed the opinion that the murderer probably caught hold of the silk scarf, which was tight and knotted, and pulled the deceased backwards, cutting her throat in that way. So in other words Liz had her back turned to her assailant . An assailant who has just thrown her to the ground, and thrown out a racial slur where upon one man [ at least ] was scared enough to scurry down the street. Yet Liz turns her back on this person and walks into a yard which is pretty much devoid of light. Not for me
