With regard to George Hutchinson(GH), did the police ever corroborate the following:
There's no written evidence to prove they did and as a policeman once told me "if it wasn't written down or recorded then it did not happen!"
I can't seem to locate any written evidence to prove they did and as a policeman once told me "if it wasn't written down or recorded then it did not happen!"
Or did Abberline not bother asking him these pertinent questions because he considered that no Englishman would have done these horrible crimes?
Which leads me onto my next question, I often see and hear quotes stating that No Englishman (by that I assume of any class) would carry out a murder like this? what exactly is this unfounded assumption based on? If they took this approach which I truly hope they didn't then it would have colored their judgement and overlooked evidence.
Because as far as I recall there had been many murders of a horrific nature committed by Englishmen.
Here's a few examples:
And my final question: why Did the police drop Hutch as a witness so quickly? i'm sure I read Abberline stated in 1903 that the only useful witness was one that saw Jack from the rear (Elizabeth long) or was a foreigner. (Joseph Lawende/Schwartz). Hutch does not fit into either of those categories.
thanks
- Whether he was in Romford on 8th Nov 1888? and what he was doing there?
- Who he spoke to at Victoria Home lodging house about coming forward?
- How he first met MJK?

Here's a few examples:
- Frederick Baker mutiliated Fanny Adams in 1867 (this is where the term sweet FA or sweet fanny adams comes from. A naval slang term), Hampshire. Here's an extract from my own writing "Her severed head had been mounted on two hop poles, one ear cut off, her eyes gouged out, and her face slashed. Baker cut up the body and scattered the parts was to try to hide his crime, but he then placed Fanny’s head ostentatiously on a pole as if to make a statement. If his intention was to sicken and shock, he certainly achieved it. "
- Ratcliffe Highway murders 1811. Quote from my own work "Struggling to take in the horrors before them, Murray suddenly whispered, “What about the baby? They’ve got a little baby!” The two men hurried upstairs, where they found a truly tragic sight before them. Tim Marr junior, just 3 months old, lay dead in his blood-soaked cot. He had been hit over the head and one side of his face was crushed, and his throat slit with his head almost decapitated"
- In 1874 Henry Wainwright took Harriet Lane to his brush factory, shot her in the head and slit her throat. Buried her under the floorboards but used chloride of lime instead of quicklime. The smell got so bad that he then recovered the body, chopped her up into little pieces and placed her inside to large canvas parcels.So why did they believe Englishman of any class were beyond approach? English women were not afforded the same glowing reviews?
And my final question: why Did the police drop Hutch as a witness so quickly? i'm sure I read Abberline stated in 1903 that the only useful witness was one that saw Jack from the rear (Elizabeth long) or was a foreigner. (Joseph Lawende/Schwartz). Hutch does not fit into either of those categories.
