Diemschutz arrival

[Bridewell]

Hello (again) Colin. Thanks. But how do we know it was "Jack"?

Cheers.

Hi Lynn,

We don't know it was Jack. The original post (not by me) said only, 'Odds are it was Jack'.

Regards, Bridewell.

Theres no evidence to suggest he was interrupted

There's NO evidence, Monty? Apart from Diemschitz' testimony, the timing, and the body in situ?
Not sure what you would have considered as evidence of interruption. A man seen running away from the scene? A man caught by Diemshitz in Dutfield's Yard, blood dripping knife in hand, complaining "frickin' anarchist Jewish dudes didn't let me finish"?

Hello Jim. Thanks.

The latter, indeed.

holy scenario

Hello Miakaal. Thanks.

No need--not when you already know where the holes are.

Cheers.

Or Miakeel the ripper if responsible could have done what he POSSIBLY did everytime as in alright luv lets get to the spot and I will give you the cash on the way, thus negating the need to actually have or retrieve any cash, then just before getting into the court Stride says so where is my money I aint going any further without payment and turns to walk away and bang it happens. All supposition I know but not implausible. But I fear this is straying off topic

[Spring heeled Jim]

Premeditation as in I am going to kill someone tonight or I am going to kill Stride tonight?

Hi Lynn, yeah or stamps? But thinking of that, it seems to me that the procedure for "business", is alway cash up front. However I don't think I have read that poor Liz had any money with her corpse. So if it were a client, then either she was prepared to move somewhere dark prior to seeing and feeling the cash, (unlikely?) or the miscreant took it back. This would throw doubt on the interruption idea. Unless the killer was another Scrooge he would not even consider taking back his tuppence before running for it.
So it may not have been a client after all?
Oh go on somebody, tell me where the holes are.

premeditation

Hello Jim. Thanks.

I am inclined to premeditation.

Lynn I just watched your youtube reenactment of your take on what happened and must say it's plausible nothing about it says it couldn't have happened that way to me. I just can't fathom why such a random killing would happen but I suppose that's a mystery that will never be solved.

And why not a cut throat in rage? Well there is no reason but I think your reenactment is a good example, to my mind anyway, that if this was premeditated to kill with such efficiency does not seem like the actions of someone in a rage. And if things went down differently to how you suggested then to be in a rage and cut someones throat in such a manner that leaves them on the ground with no trace of blood on the wall seems very unlikely to me.

An interruption at the side door is possible agreed. I just think the timing and Dimshits finding the body fits the scenario I have in my head but I suppose that's the salient point here my idea is just in my head!

credit, where it's due

Hello Miakaal. Thanks.

Well, could it be done on credit? (heh-heh)

Cheers.

no

Hello Jim. Thanks.

"Irrespective of the details though do you think he was interrupted/disturbed?"

Emphatically, no. No reason to assume such--unless we have already made the assumption that mutilation was intended.

Cheers.

Hello (yet again) Jim.

My take is here, post #1.

http://forum.casebook.org/showthread.php?t=5160

Dr. Blackwell's ideas should be in the inquest material. Have you Evans and Skinner's "Ultimate Companion"?

Cheers.

por que no?

Hello (yet again) Jim. I agree that it was planned, but why NOT a cut throat in rage?

Cheers.
