Blood - too much or little ?

[Aethelwulf]

Maybe she was in a cart or something where she bled out ?

He'd still have had to lug a body dead weight out of the cart onto the ground. Just can't see it, and my prime suspect had use of a horse and cart!

I don't think we can be certain, he may be saying the exact opposite - not as much blood as you'd expect.

Yes, another example where Phillips could have done with adding a couple of extra words to clarify, or the coroner could have asked him to clarify.

Also what Phillips said at Stride's inquest is of relevance;

Coroner] Were there any spots of blood anywhere else? - I could trace none except that which I considered had been transplanted - if I may use the term - from the original flow from the neck. Roughly estimating it, I should say there was an unusual flow of blood, considering the stature and the nourishment of the body.

He seems to be saying that for her poor physical state there should have been a less strong flow of blood. Perhaps in Nicholls' case that is the answer.

No that's not what I mean. If she was moved from elsewhere to Bucks Row how was she moved without her dangling severed head lolling about and leaving a trail of blood?

You seem to be assuming that she was killed in that place. The lack of blood there was noted at the time, but got lost as a point of interest as Chapman was killed soon after.

I can't see how it could be possible really. If the cause of death was the cut to the throat, it would mean she was moved with her throat cut. Although most of the blood may have gone elsewhere, there would still be a trail. I also can't see how it could have been done (moved) without someone noticing. Also, we know Lech did it!

I've read that there was rather too little blood at the Nicholls scene and too much at the Eddowes scene. Is there some truth to this? If so, thoughts and explanations welcomed. Could Nicholls have been killed elsewhere perhaps ?
