There's a much bigger puzzle if thats the case George, ......TIME.

Now then Fishy. Try to refrain from attempting to be inscrutable and elaborate.

Hello Paul,

Sugden does a nice job of discussing this very issue in his The Complete History of Jack the Ripper. After a very thorough analysis involving game times, train schedules etc. his conclusion is that Druitt cannot be ruled out based on his cricket match. Memory is fuzzy but there is evidence he did play.

c.d.

Francis Thompson was also obsessed with cricket and often bunked off his anatomy classes to go and watch his beloved Lancashire play at Old Trafford.

He favoured cricket over cadavers.

Sure thing George ,but I thought it was obvious given what we know about Chapmans murder and what Phillips said how long it would take him to inflict all her injuries. Now compare that to Eddowes 7 to 10 mins tops to do what was an obvious medical technique / procedure, which murder with all the said injuries should have taken more time ?
