    McKenzie wasn't mutilated to the extent of some of the other C5 and then there's the question why the cessation after McKenzie

      You believe Bury was the Ripper, so all bets are off.

        That doesn't answer my questions though does it Harry D. I suppose you're going to say he was incarcerated after McKenzie's murder as well for another unrelated crime or something.

          Many of the facts check out:

          Thanks, Gary. Great research there.

            Who knows, John? We don't have the killer's biography.

              Nope, too much of a coincidence.
              Hi harry
              Same for me. And both series end at the same time. McKenzie and pinchin.

Two series happening in the same city, at the same time, where women were mutilated/butchered and uteri were removed. This cannot be dismissed as readily as you think.



                They both happened in London, and not the opposite ends of the city either. And you can't blithely gloss over Pinchin Street. Now we have one series spilling over into the other's territory.

                Anyway, you know we've been through all this before. The killer might have had a bolthole further west, where he carried out the Torso series, whereas Whitechapel was closer to home.
                Bingo harry
                Good post.

                  I am not discounting Alice but i do wonder about the injuries to her neck. Looking at the reports it seems she was stabbed twice in the neck creating one four inch wound. Once the killer had penetrated the flesh twice, why not drag the knife along the front of the neck left to right like the other victims ? This was almost certainly his preferred way of making sure the poor women where dead. I know killers can change their MO but it does seem strange that once he has the victim on the ground with the knife in her neck, why stop there ?

                    Excellent point, Darryl, and spot on.

                      Hey Abby,

                      I don't think the Lambeth 1902 torso can be definitively ruled out, either.

                        The cessations all point to Jack not being McKenzies killer though Harry D.

                          And the throat cutting, abdominal mutilations, location, and victim profile would suggest that McKenzie was a Ripper victim.

                            But the cessations make these all moot points.

                              Her wounds were minor compared to the canonical mutilation murders, and the victimology too general to read much significance. Casual prostitution was commonplace, and prostitutes weren't exactly thin on the ground.

                                How many prostitutes were slain in that manner before the Autumn of terror?
