Hi Pandora
This dismissal as a suspect may be due to the lack of evidence.
We can only play with the idea that either the body was not there, or he was lying.
It is a bit of a coincidence that Richardson is bent over in the corner of the yard holding a knife, possibly within half an hour of the Ripper doing the same actions.
I do find it interesting that Richardson said he could not finish removing the bit of leather in the yard because his knife was blunt, and had to finish the job off when he got to the market, using a sharp knife - which I used to think was him possibly covering himself when the police queried how he could cut leather with the blunt knife he produced at the inquest.
But I hope you keep pursuing big John Richardson, I will watch with interest.
