Suspect elimination

[Trevor Marriott]

"A wild speculative guess"? From a DCI who was serving at the relevant time and who would almost certainly have spoken to the likes of Abberline and Swanson at various times? We don't know what information they divulged to him so he may have had very good reason for suggesting Tumblety. Your claim of a wild speculative guess on his part is just a wild speculative guess on yours.

Well, my guess is dam sight nearer than those who suggest Tumbetly as being the killer despite the fact that he was a homosexual and very few homosexual serial killers target women, furthermore, he was in custody the night Kelly was killed or have you not been following the other threads on his topic.

These senior officers back then were simply for the benefit of the press playing the game pin the tail on the donkey!

How do you know your guess is a damn sight nearer than any other? And I don't suggest Tumblety as being the killer; I just take issue with the suggestion that he be eliminated on the grounds of his homosexuality and gross indecency charges. Your claim that "very few" homosexual serial killers target women is an admission that some of them do, is it not?

I am very much aware that Tumblety was in custody on the night of the Kelly murder. Unfortunately that thread seems to have disappeared down the black hole of the latest Casebook glitch - which is a pity because I backed up your post on the subject and gave my reasons for doing so.

People are allowed to disagree with you, Trevor. You don't have to take it personally.
