The fact that her throat wasn't cut would be my number 1 reason she wasn't a ripper victim. of course there are others .
However, could this be down to the fact that she was attacked whilst sleeping/passed out from booze, hence a different MO to the others i.e. he didn't need to strangle her?

Not only that but at 2:00 AM: PC Thomas Barrett saw a young Grenadier Guardsman in Wentworth Street, the north end of George Yard. Barrett questioned his reason for being there and was told by the Guardsman that he was waiting for a "chum who went off with a girl." So an hour, maybe two hours later this soldier finds his mate and kills Martha. Hmm why? The noose would almost be upon his neck with the previous events.

What, apart from the location, the timing, the victimology, the strangulation, the attack with a knife to her torso, I can't think of anything either

Thanks Fishy! It would be great if you could help to convince me. Why do you think she was definitely not a JtR victim? Just the two knives element or something else, more definitive?

O[QUOTE]n the anniversary of the anniversary of the murder of Martha Tabram, I still wonder about whether she was a victim of Jack the ripper. The fact that two knives were used in her murder has always concerned me? If she was a JTR victim why would one person use two knives? Surely the two different types of stab wounds indicate that two people were involved?[ QUOTE]
Its my opinion Losmandris that you are dead right ,i dont think Martha T was a jack the ripper victim at all . Ludicrous that she is even thought of in the same breath as the others. Some here think that jtr was responsible for more that a dozen kills ...... again silly if you ask me . JTR 5 victim only , period . IMO

Good point Sam. Am I correct in thinking that that one wound was the killing strike, which I presume would have come at either the start or end of the attack? Meaning that the second person would have been standing back, whilst the first inflicted all the other wounds. This does seem unlikely, however, I still find it difficult to imagine that a lone attacker would stop to change implements, even if this was at the start or the end of the attack. Equally unlikely that he would used both knives at once. It's a difficult one to get the head around.

I'm sure there are plenty of documented murders where one perpetrator used multiple weapons on the same victim. Humans are very adept tool users and it seems more likely to me that one killer used two weapons rather than two killers did it and didn't get caught or betray each other.
Now, if you believe that Tabram not only was killed by one person, but was killed by the same person who later killed Polly Nichols, then you do run into the problem of neither of the weapons used on Tabram being the same as the weapon used on Nichols. The traditional explanation for those who believe that Tabram was killed by Jack the Ripper was that he was still experimenting with weapons and mutilation.
