Is Bury the best suspect we have?

[John Wheat]

I think Bury is in the top-5 of the named suspects. I personally think the Ripper was an as yet unknown man, but of the known suspects, Bury rates pretty high.

Is he the very best suspect? Hmm, I don’t think so, his behavior after the murder is a big detractor.

Hi Kattrup

If Bury isn't the best suspect in your opinion who is and why? As for Bury's behaviour after his wife's murder would a one time wife murderer really perform post mortem mutilation, stuff the body in a box and play cards on the box with friends for a number of days?

Cheers John

Bury's wife died from strangulation with a rope, similar to Rose Mylett who was killed closer to Bury's residence than those in Whitechapel who died from a cut throat. Perhaps he left after the Farmer incident and Rose Mylett's murder. Possibly a serial killer, but not the Ripper.

Are you sure the Whitechapel Murderer didn't kill his victims by strangulation? Cutting there throats to make sure they were dead? Maybe Bury didn't need to cut his wife's throat. There is also evidence a ligature was used in a number of the C5. Also if Bury isn't the best suspect we have then who is?

It is my belief that Bury is the best suspect we have for a number of reasons. Most notably that Bury murdered his wife in a similar fashion to the C5, Bury matches the FBI psychological profile rather well and that Bury left London shortly after Mary Kelly's murder. But is Bury the best suspect we have? I'd be interested to hear others thoughts.

Good thread. Can Bury be found at a murder scene near a freshly murdered victim who is still bleeding and breathing?

Hi Geddy2112

No but neither can any other suspect. Despite the lies suggesting a certain suspect was though.
