My apologies for yet another poll but I thought that I’d combine a up to date one on whether Stride was a victim of JtR or not with a setting out of the points for and against. I’ll do the second part a like my ‘rating the suspects’ thread in that I’ll update it every so often adding peoples suggestions. I’ll try and go with the consensus so that if someone suggests a point and everyone disagrees strongly it won’t be added.
I’ll begin with some basics
Stride was a victim
1. Victim type (a woman of the lower classes who engaged, at some point, in prostitution.
2. Throat cutting
3. Area of the murder
4. A night that we know that the ripper was active
5. What are the chances of two women getting their throats cut by different perpetrators on the same night?
Stride wasn’t a victim
1. No mutilations
2. Exposed location
3. The killer potentially being witness by two people just before the murder
