Thomas Cutbush - Whitechapel Murderer ?

[Bridewell]

So Cutbush not buried at Broadmoor. Nice work by the author in tracing the grave, regardless of how you view his (Cutbush's) credibility as a suspect.

New to Cutbush

Thanks AP !!

Just trying to see the average persons thinking on this because it is very interesting IMO with Cutbush at the moment,and i am surprised at the very even response so far..

I've been lurking around these boards for some time and have recently come to see Cutbush as a serious contender for JtR.

Given what I've read in the archives I'd give him a definite 6 but the more I read the higher the number I'd give him.

Love these message boards

[Celesta]

Hiddy-ho Barry,

I somehow missed this one. I'm voting late.

Thanks for the poll.

[halomanuk]

Thats the same number i gave it as well Roy,as i still need to brush up on Cutbush quite a bit more..

[Roy Corduroy]

Hi Halo,

I give it a solid 5 based on the circumstantial evidence developed by Inspector Race.

This is a lot more even than i thought it would be...totally spread out so far.

[Mascara & Paranoia]

Although he's a lot more likely to have been the Ripper than a lot of the suspects, I highly doubt he was.

[Mitch Rowe]

Its a joke.. I wont vote because I dont know enough about him. Im in no hurry with suspects as I doubt anyone knew. Including police and press alike.

I cant explain why it ended. If it ended at all. I can say the police thought they had not a shred of proof against anyone. And that MacNaghten describes this cutbush dude and tries to set the story straight about it. And then goes on to mention other "suspects" more likely but not any proof against them either. And now we come to find out that these "suspects" were exactly how MacNaghten described them!

However I realize that sometimes police ignore the facts but thats not what I feel the MM represents. Because I dont think MacNaghten intended to mis represent the facts. If something really concrete came up on cutbush I think they would have ran with it.

After saying all that I will say it still may not mean anything because I havent researched him enough for one thing. I cant make any sort of judgement against any suspect if I dont know the facts.

[halomanuk]

mmmmmmmm..ok..and which number out of 10 did you vote for eh ?

[Mitch Rowe]

Cutbush silly.. Cutbush!

[halomanuk]

The name alone deserves something!

[Mitch Rowe]
