Thanks Hunter for a well informed and level headed post, as always.

The medical evidence makes it crystal clear to us that the "mindset" of the Whitechapel killer was highly set on postmortem mutilations, requiring a steady increase from murder to murder. I don't adhere much to profiling, but here it's impossible to deny that the postmortem mutilations are what profilers call the case's "signature".
Subduing a person from behind with just the left arm decisively around their neck (the right hand holding the knife) is easily feasible. But the subduing had nothing whatsoever to do with the interruption. According to the evidence of Stride's body in situ and to the testimonies given by the Club members, the interruption must have occurred just prior to the mutilations.
