    Barnett & MJK's split wasn't as acrimonious as this. They were still on speaking terms and he paid her a visit on the night of the murder. Apart from the fact she had her throat cut, I don't see much MJK/Barnett-esque about it.

        How many couples in Whitechapel at that time had a relationship similar to Mary and Joe -- acrimonious from time to time with fights? If that were the only criteria for murder you would expect what happened to Mary to be commonplace.

          There are two ways to be fooled, one is to believe what isn't true, the other is to refuse to believe that which is true.
