What makes you think a nearly severed arm is can NOT be a job finished? Do I sense preconceived notions about what the killer would or would not do, Michael? Why did the killer not cut the arms away from the Pinchin Street torso? Surely that must be an unfinished job? Why dd he not take off Chapmans nose? Unfinished! Why did he not cut Marys LEFT arm away? How slack!
Or could it be that cutting any protruding part away was never his sole aim?
Now, what can we say about the motivators present with Liz Strides murder? He wanted her dead. And Kate? Perhaps the same as Polly and Annie, perhaps not. Its not as clear, as a marriage of Mary Anns and Annies murders is. And Mary Kelly...if that was her actual name? What do we learn about that event? That her killer was angry with her...facial slashing, defensive wounds on Mary...that he intended to render her almost unrecognizable, and that he had no interest in taking any abdominal organs with him.
You want a Canon like that? No...you even want to add more victims with evidence that suggests what he did, how long he takes, and what he did with the victim afterwards is completely different from the preceding killings. Yet very reminiscent of other crimes of that same ilk.

IMHO, a drunken rage results in three to five blows, with the knife, max. By then Tabram would have been hurt enough to satisfy his rage. 39 blows, is more than rage, it is a mental illness. I have tried to visualize the act, and I can't see him making it through that many blows without having to take several breaths. Even a prize fighter can't throw 40 blows consecutively; he had to have stopped and started again several times; just can't see it as a single act of rage.
I am not saying it wasn't a pissed off punter that night, but whoever he was his act was beyond rage.

So it really HAS to be the same guy, right?
Alternatively, we must accept that kilers, regardless if they are dismembers or not, may well leave the odd limb or nose or ear or whatnot on the bodies of their victims, and we can therefore not tell them apart - or together - in this way. The one thing that CAN connect them is odd and rare inclusions occurring in separate murders. That is a surefire technique, improving with the level of rarity of the measures taken.

Your missing my point, no preconceived notions at all Fisherman,.. just noting what is there.
Much like me, then: I note that there are missing hearts, uteri and colon sections in both series, and that victims from both series have had their abdominal walls taken away, and I conclude that such a thing will not happen in a million years unless we have one killer only.
If acts remained unfinished its very probable they were not of any great importance to the killer, like the "partial" stripping of Marys left inside thigh, or the lack of any interaction with the deceased after the throat was cut, or the "partial" uterus...the absence of completion signals a waning interest, certainly not something we would use as a primary motivator for killing anyone. Annies killer killed her so he could take her uterus. That's what the physical and contemporary medical evidence says, just noting what is there.
No, you are stretching two separate matters into a certified fact. Annies killer may well have killed her without any intention of taking out her uterus. We know that he DID do it, but we cannot vibe certain that there was any initial decision to do just that.
Kates kidney and a colon section were taken out, together with the uterus. Was there any conscious decision on the killers behalf beforehand that he would extract these three parts? Was that the reason that he killed her? Do we actually KNOW that?
Based on the significant similarities in almost every pertinent category we can safely presume that Annies killer also killed Polly around 10 days earlier. Her abdominal mutilation may have been "partial", there is evidence she may have been breathing when found. He may have just missed being caught. The backyard next round is something he utilized to his own satisfaction, he worked quickly but had the time to make extractions.
We can safely presume that he also killed Kate Eddowes, Mary Kelly, the 1873 victim, the Rainham victim, The Whitehall victim, Liz Jackson and the Pinchin Street victim and a few more victims. For completely logical reasons AS WELL as on behalf of how we KNOW that eviscerators are extremely rare creatures - it is very unlikely that they should surface in spades in victorian London at the end of the 19:th century. But this I have said a million times, and it seems your ears are lined with teflon...?
Now, what can we say about the motivators present with Liz Strides murder? He wanted her dead. And Kate? Perhaps the same as Polly and Annie, perhaps not. Its not as clear, as a marriage of Mary Anns and Annies murders is. And Mary Kelly...if that was her actual name? What do we learn about that event? That her killer was angry with her...facial slashing, defensive wounds on Mary...that he intended to render her almost unrecognizable, and that he had no interest in taking any abdominal organs with him.
Not all facial cuts are on account of a relationship coupled with aggression. To my mind, there was another reason altogether for the facial cuts.
You want a Canon like that? No...you even want to add more victims with evidence that suggests what he did, how long he takes, and what he did with the victim afterwards is completely different from the preceding killings. Yet very reminiscent of other crimes of that same ilk.

Its just that I don't think it is a correct description at all. It is a knee-jerk description, inherits from generations of not very insightful research. The dismemberment and dumping is the SOLE difference there is, and as I keep feeding those teflon-lined ears of yours: may serialists have occasionally dabbled in dismemberment without making it a rule.

another point which I believe may be overlooked somewhat in similarities between the two series-the facial mutilations. We have it with the 73 toros case and the 84 totenham torso and eddowes and Kelly. Post mortem facial mutilations are extremely rare in serial killers-almost if not more rare than excising internal organs-and yet we have both in both series-with the Tottenham case and eddowes being nearly identical.

. You'd think that, if he was responsible for both those earlier torso murders, he'd have carried on where he left off from the outset of the Autumn of Terror.Kind regards, Sam Flynn

neverthe less the 84 Tottenham torso and eddowes have very similar facial mutilations-which of course points to the same killer, and the link strengthened by the rarity of it. but your point is taken.
