Guest repliedDoes anybody have evidence to confirm he was a regular in Whitechapel (either for work or 'Leisure' purposes) as opposed to keeping to
his local borough of Bromley by Bow
But i tend to think it was the same kind of thing, going from a quiet area of London to a fun area, is a little bit of extra effort but it is worth it.
Expect where as i was just bored and lonely (as people who work away on business often are), Bury was an alcoholic sexual manic on the prowl for prostitutes so he probably had more motivation in fairness.

Just follow the trail of sawdust. All joking aside, Bury is a very good suspect.

Good question. The answer is that I don't think that there's any evidence to that effect. No doubt he would often have been in Whitechapel, as would most people in the East End, at least when places like Spitalfields Market and Petticoat Lane were open - which didn't exactly coincide with the Ripper's favourite times of the day. In the evenings, I can't see much reason that Bury would have frequented Whitechapel on a regular basis as there were plenty of pubs closer to his home in Bromley-by-Bow, and plenty of potential victims for "Bury the Ripper" to choose from.

Originally posted by Tanfield View Post1) If Bury was JTR why are their no similar victims in Dundee (by that i mean potential random individuals/vulnerable street walkers at night) ? I dont include Ellen as being a potential JTR victim in this way.
2) Can the differences in the murder of Ellen v C5 be explained by the killer knowing the victim ? I can clearly see there may be a case that a killer's would have completely different emotions when killing someone unknown to them (that is a representation of some fantasy or desire) as to someone they have personal relationship with (both good or bad).
Is there any evidence that other serial killers have killed randomly with a certain aggression/desire and have then also killed their own family members/partners in a different manner and exhibiting different emotions ?

For Bury to have been the Whitechapel murderer, he obviously has to have been physically capable of committing the crimes. So what do we know about Bury? According to his Dewsbury prison record, Bury was 5’2”, meaning he was a short man, but according to one newspaper report, Bury seemed to have “a powerful chest and shoulders,” which suggests that he was strong enough to overcome the victims in the case. We know that Bury’s geographical range extended into the Whitechapel area, and we know that as a self-employed sawdust merchant, he was able to set his own hours. All of the available evidence is telling us that, yes, he was physically capable of committing the murders.

Mackenzie couldn't have been a Ripper victim because Cohen was confined.

I have not read as deeply into the Mackenzie murder as some of the C5 and certainly not for a long time - From what i have read its entirely possible she was a JTR victim and that of course, as you say, rules out Bury (and others). I think I will go back and look at all the Mackenzie posts.. In the meantime, on Bury, two other things (plus manner others!!) do keep nagging away and i would welcome some views ;-

Pure speculation of course based only on the fact that they were both from the same neck of the woods. Might they have been in the same pub at some point and they picked out the Black Country accent amongst the cockney ones?Could Bury have become a regular of Catherine’s?
