Druitt's 30 August Cricket Match

[Trevor Marriott]

It’s certainly interesting Abby and it illustrates how research shows that we shouldn’t take anything for granted. We now know 2 things for certain. That as yet we have no idea of the start or finish times of the August 30th cricket match so as it stands we cannot eliminate Druitt on this point even though some were beginning their premature celebrations. Information might still surface to change this though of course. And that we’ve always taken Leighton at face value and eliminated Druitt for Tabram’s murder (whether it was a ripper murder or not) on the basis of a cricket game which never took place. So there’s no alibi for Tabram. Have you noticed the silence on this point Abby?

Its also interesting to note that Druitt’s own team Blackheath played a game on the 6th of August. Roger posted the scorecard and Druitt didn’t play.

I asked a question in a previous post that being if Druiit was a serial killer and I dont belive he was, but for the benefit of those who do I have to ask why would there have been a need for him to rush back to London to kill?. Surely there were red light districts to be found in Dorset.

Another question mark over his suspect viabilty!

Trevor,

Do you really know so little about the victims that you imagine you could find their equivalent in ‘red light districts’?

This is late 19th century Blandford. Where does Trevor imagine you could find an endless supply of homeless women wandering these streets in the early hours of the morning?

Not at all. As GUT said on here, why do we have to assume that he’d have returned to London purely to kill. He could have returned for any number of unknown reasons. He might even have returned to London with no intention of returning to play in the second game on the 1st and then changed his mind.

I have to ask you one Trevor. Who is it that believes that Druitt was the ripper?

[GUT]

Yet to see anything that makes him impossible to be the Ripper, but then the same applies to most of the “Suspects”.

[MrBarnett]

As far as we can tell, Druitt was not playing cricket in Dorset/Hants on 7th or 31st August and definitely not on 8th September.

You are another poster who is quick to reply without reading the posts I referred to Dorset not specifically blandford

He was in Blandford. Which fleshpot in the
rural county of Dorset did you have in mind?

There were no cities in Dorset and very few towns of any size.

[MrBarnett]

If the Ripper wanted to operate in a ‘red light district’, why didn’t he go down to the Ratcliff Highway earlier in the evening? He could have had his pick of ‘unfortunates’ down there.

Trevor probably knows the answer to that question.

Would it need to be a city to find a lone female at night Druitt`s family resided only 9 miles from Blandford in Wimborne and only 9 miles from Bournemouth and most towns big or small would have had ladies of the night

Boscombe.

Boscombe? I know it well. It was in the next county to Dorset. Your point is?

‘Ladies of the night?’ You just don’t get it, Trevor, do you?

[MrBarnett]

If the Ripper had wanted to kill ‘ladies of the night’, he’d have gone down to the Ratcliff Highway where, before the pubs closed, they could be found on every street corner.

It was a joke
