Police Patrols Timings

Hi Jon
Good point about the ladies knowing the beat times but Jack didn't magically appear at those moments unless he knew them too as there's no suggestion of him hanging around in advance, or is there ?

Again just based on instinct, yes you may strangle and slit a throat by feel in the dark, but removing organs ? That goes beyond having normal capabilities, surely.

You are spot on, there has been all this talk previous about butchers or slaughterers being able to remove these organs using anatomical knowledge. If that be the case we would have them helping out the NHS with the current pandemic backload.

Not necessarily...

Hello Dick.

What is believed by most is that the victims, being prostitutes, would have a better knowledge of any constable's beat on their patch. The prostitute will choose to take their customer to a dark corner just after the beat constable had left, giving them maximum time for the 'transaction'. Jack did not need to know the beat times.

I'm not so sure about needing extra ordinary sight at night, most of what the killer did was possible by touch alone, but we shouldn't believe he operated in total darkness either. Even in Mitre Sq, his darkest location, the corner was not totally dark.

Hi all
Is it fair to suggest that the killer must have had knowledge of the timings of the police on the beat ? Either that or he got incredibly lucky on a couple of occasions at least. Assuming the former for now, doesn't that suggest a very local man who was used to being in the area at night ? He must have had good night vision too based upon the killings in the dark, which also alludes to the previous question. Would this help narrow down the suspect pool somewhat ?

Cheers
Dick
