George Robertson - Possible suspect....

[Uncle Jack]

Maybe a potential new suspect? George Robertson was sentenced to death for the murder of Mary Kenealy. He cut her throat in a similar fashion to the Ripper victims and mutilated the rectum. He also has quite a criminal history.

Can anyone add anything more?

He mutilated the rectum.

With one sweep of the knife and avoiding the vagina, Adam ?

The Division surgeon thought Robertson was of weak intellect because he was a dwarf? And we wonder about the differing conclusions of the physicians in the Whitechapel murders.

Hi Hunter,

You're right.
In "Snow White", out of seven dwarfs, only one is of weak intellect.

Hi Adam
But the Mary Kenealy that Robertson killed was a four year old girl.
Is that a likely departure for a killer of JTR's tastes?

Hi Chris. I know Jack had a certain "type" of victim but I wouldn't necessarily think he would just stick to that group only. Bundy is a prime example - his "usual" victims were aged from around 19 to their early twenties but his last known victim, Kimberly Leach, was just 12.

Well, I reckon if this little guy was JTR it might explain why the victims' throats were cut while lying down as he couldn't reach them otherwise.

Nice one, Stephen.
There was a link to "explore 7up world"...but I didn't dare to click.
Too dreadful a beverage, to my liking.
