i would plump for the latter. to me the Polly Nichols murder looks frenzied rather than controlled and carefully planned out. hard to say if Tabram was killed by the same man. i was going to say that the thoughts of Nichol's killer seem to have been more bizarre than the thoughts of Tabram's killer, not that Tabram's killer wasn't sick in the head..

I've been poking about on some bayonet collector's websites, and it looks to me as though a variety of sword bayonets were issued from the 1850s through the 1870s.

Originally posted by Cogidubnus View PostHistory records that there were thousands of complete and partially intact ex-military bayonets available for sale in local markets and black-markets. However, until the relatively recent introduction of the sword bayonet, wouldn't most of these have been of the older and discarded distinctively triangular cross-section "spike" variety?
I'd been picturing the army as using one type of bayonet at a time, but that doesn't seem to have been the case.

Dr. Killeen would not have been the only doctor to see the wounds. There's no question that two blades were used. The only debate was whether or not it was a sword or dagger that inflicted the heart wound. Bayonet was even ruled out, though not by Killeen, who would not likely have had bayonet wound experience. It was a juryman and not Killeen who suggested a bayonet in the first place, and that was only because of all the soldier talk going on at the time. Soldiers were ruled out before the end of August.
Yours truly,
Tom Wescott
That was the sort of expertise I was hoping would surface
All the best
