    Hi All,

    What MJK1 and MJK3 tell me is that the photographs bear scant resemblance to the scene as described by various witnesses, cops and doctors.

    Regards,

    Simon

      How, why, whom are immaterial.
      Was she ready for sex or bed?
      How banal and turgid is that?
      You're inordinately touchy about this "sex" thing, aren't you, AP? Why not have a quick J Arthur? I'm sure it'll help clear the tubes.

      While you're doing that, I'll just point out that attempting to reconstruct the sequence of events leading up to a murder victim's demise are of very real relevance and interest, and aren't turgid or banal in the least, except perhaps to those with an axe to grind.

      Finished already? Thou grindest thy axe too vigorously, perchance...

        This is truly offensive stuff Sam.Mary Kelly was a human being who was indeed slaughtered like an animal but as a human being her memory deserves respect. The way your exchange reads is as though you are somehow "titillated" by the way she undressed herself and want to dwell on the detail.Its ridiculous to make the excuse that its all to solve her murder.You are getting off on it and you know it.

        psst -and Ap is quite right in this instance .

          Nats,

          AP went off on one of those crusades he usually reserves for Colin Wilson. Perhaps you might be better aiming your sanctimony at AP, who is apparently quite willing to prostitute victims' memories by playing politics with their deaths.

          I'm interested in what might have led up to Mary's demise, and the photos might be able to help us there. I'm certainly not "titillated" by any of it, I can assure you. Despite appearances to the contrary, I really don't possess a dirty enough mind.
          Kind regards, Sam Flynn

              Well if I am wrong I apologise but I can assure you that it read badly.Maybe there is a need to be ultra careful here ,especially when discussing Mary"s private parts.

                Thank you, Nats. I've yet to mention Mary's private parts - and, to be honest - I don't think that within the context of this thread there'd be any need to. As I said, I'm interested in what those pictures might tell us about what happened to Mary leading up to her death.

                  Hi Natalie,

                  I don't have any problem with studying the photo in detail - I am afraid that I am getting used to these kinds of pictures and I have seen several that are far worse.
                  And what I see on this particular photo corresponds quite well with what I've seen on crime scene photos where the offender has beeen subject to a psychotic episode. There is nothing controlled about, and there is also a lot of blood. It is a messy crime scene and nothing really to indicate that it is in any way the work of an experienced killer.

                  All the best

                    I agree with much of your post, but as for:



                    I wouldn't say there's much evidence for that. If she went to sleep after 1.00am, say, I'm not sure why she should have shed more garments.

                    Best regards,

                    I didnt want a direct communication to go unanswered for a few days so heres my answer Ben,..and thanks for siding with much of the post,..

                    That line isnt my belief at all, it is what has to transpire if we are to believe Mary was attacked while undressing, based on the evidence suggesting, as you and I believe, she never left the room. I was illustrating that to have her undress for a client, it should also factor in that she was not seen by any legitimate witness leaving her room, and her room was silent and dark by approx 1:30am, leaving us to surmise she was asleep for at least some of the two hours that go by before anything that might possibly be sounds from Mary, or her room in the court, are heard by witnesses..at approx 3:45am.

                    Covering my bases is all Ben, Sam misses nothing.

                    Im working long hours the next few days, so Ill catch up with you later in the week.

                    All the best Ben, all.

                        Hi Nats,

                        I really dont think Sam is indulging any baser instincts here, I think he hoped that he might further his belief that the scene shows us somehow that she was attacked while undressing for a client....something which the photo shows no evidence of. And something that would be a singular event based on the fact that no-one who knew Mary claimed she ever brought men to her room as clients. In fact she only had approx 8 mights alone in that room to do so, so that behaviour after Joe had left would surely have been noticed by her neighbours.

                        She easily could have slept in that state until approx 3:45am, and since no-one accreditted ever sees her leave after 11:45pm, or return, thats not an unfair suggestion of why she was found partially dressed....she was in that state when the killer arrived.

                        See...the evidence says he must have arrived alone and she was inside the room at the time....but shh....thats not what some want to believe.

                        Its not tittilation he's after, its validation.

                        The pictures show us nothing more than a woman in her room in her bed partially undressed and murdered, found in the state and location she was attacked in. Suggesting in venue and dress, some comfortable intimacy with her killer.

                        Best regards.

                          Sara,

                          I agree. I've always thought that Jack made his victims think that the deed was about to be done, getting them in a position easy for him to strike. From behind, but perhaps with MjK it was a tad bit different. I do think this photo shows that she was on the bed,but I think she may have been laying close to the wall, and on her back when he cut her throat. Making the sprays on the wall. She may have fought somewhat - however short (cuts on arm and thumb) I do also agree that she had taken off her other garmets before bed leaving on her chemise (may be because of a previous customer)

                          (I can't go into what else I think happened from reports since we aren't going off of what may have happend - I think I will follow Sams lead and offshoot that question elsewhere to stay respectful to the thread)

                          For me, the JrT murders show all the signs of being done whilst the victim is prepared for intercourse from the rear, which would be typical of sex with a man you didn't know - it's less personal, and easier if upright. And easier for an attacker to draw his knife too

                          In this case she might have already had sex, and turned over to sleep, esp if the killer was known to her - but my guess is that they lay down 'spoons' and instead of taking her from behind in the way she expected, it was done in the fatal manner.

                          But I don't believe JtR was interested in actually having sex with his victims

                            Glenn,
                            Thanks for that information.It corresponds with what I was thinking was happening---that he was having a full blown psychosis.



                            Sam and Mike,
                            Monty often uses just one word to convey his thinking and if I could do the same here the word would be "respect"---at all times needed for these images of Mary"s terribly mutilated remains.

                              Hi Norma,

                              Im off for a day or two, but Im sure you know both Sam and I well enough to know we certainly do respect the womans memory... seen in those terrible images...what this is about I believe is the "story" that ends up with her there, as seen in MJK1. And frankly the life of a street unfortunate does come with some unseemly acts and actions.

                              I may not agree with what Sam sees here, but I do know that he is respectful, and so am I.

                              Cheers Nats, my best to you.

                                Hi Nats,

                                I've only referred to what I believe to be a sock and a rolled-up blanket, and suggested that the sock (if such it is) being draped over the rolled-up blanket might indicate that Kelly was removing her hosiery at the point she was killed. This may suggest that the killer attacked her before she'd had a chance to remove the other stocking. None of this has anything to do with Mary's mutilated remains, you'll be glad to hear.
                                Kind regards, Sam Flynn
