Druitt is a valid suspect. but as I often say-all the "suspects" are weak. some are just less weak than others.

In reaction to The Baron ridiculing my very mild assertion that Druitt is a suspect (I must have missed your criticism of his disrespectful comments. Never mind though, you spotted mine that’s all that matters ) The point being that how can you ridicule a suspect named by the second most senior police officer in the country and yet think that Williams baseless assertions are valid. Your comments are based on personal animosity for some reason Observer.
I challenge you to show me where I did said Williams theory is valid or if I ever supported it.

Does anyone agree / disagree?

That comment was tongue-in-cheek. I should have added an ill admit. You appear to have had a humour bypass where I’m concerned. Strange that

Not that tight, timewise, really, with over 5 hours to play with. It was barely 6 miles from Hanbury Street to Blackheath; even if there were no trains running that early, he could have had a leisurely two-hour walk and been home (well, at the school) in time to clean up, cook and eat breakfast (whatever that consisted of) and still have had plenty of time to don his whites and stroll over to the heath before the toss.
I'm not saying it's likely, but it's far from impossible, chronologically speaking.

I’ve hardly manipulated or engineered the fact that it cannot be proven that Mackenzie, Coles and the Torso’s were ripper victims. It’s simply a fact. I’ve no issue if some believes that they were. It’s simple reason to say that they can’t be used to exonerate Druitt. Someone can say that they believe those women were killed by the ripper It’s therefore their opinion that Druitt couldn’t have been the ripper.
It doesn’t get simpler.

More likely they investigated him shortly after his body was found. The initial reports with regard to Druitt suggested he was a doctor. Doctors had featured earlier in the investigation so it's possible that when the fact came to light that Druitt had entered the water shortly after the murder of Kelly a certain police officer had a light bulb moment and an investigation began into Druitt. Enter Macnaghten
From what we read it wasn't until after mid 1889, according to Mac., when theories began to surface. By then too much time had passed.Regards, Jon S.

well for my part-Ididnt mean tight as in physically impossible tight. of course there was enough time to kill chapman and get to the game on time. I meant tight as in going on to play cricket the morning after committing a murder, in which you've also procured a womb as a trophy and to bring it home. psychologically tight time wise perhaps? as in post mortem serial killers like to have time after a kill with their goodies, and killers in general a lot of times miss work, events etc. after a kill."Is all that we see or seem
