Comparing with Tabrum with non Ripper victims.

[Lewis C]

Being a poverty-class woman living in Whitechapel in the late Summer/Autumn of 1888 and indulging in casual prostitution aren't sufficient criteria to rule her in, because those criteria applied to hundreds, if not thousands of unfortunates in the East End. I tend to focus on what clearly characterises Tabram's death - i.e. that she was killed in a frenzied shower of stab wounds to her neck and chest, which is completely different from any of the other WM's, never mind just the canonical Ripper victims.

You did the same thing again here: picked one of the reasons for suspecting she's a Ripper victim, and then said that that reason isn't enough. I agree that that reason alone isn't enough. All of the reasons combined may be another matter.

The remaining two stabs - just two - were in the lower abdomen,...

I've seen you claim several times that there were just two wounds to the lower abdomen, Gareth. Did I miss something in the evidence? Because if I count all the wounds delivered to the organs & neck, I arrive at 30 wounds. Plus the 3 inch wound on the lower abdomen makes 31. Of course, some of the stabs may not have hit any organs, so they may have been in, for instance, the shoulders or the legs as some newspapers have it, or they may just not have reached deep enough to wound any organs, but how are you so sure there were only 2 wounds to the lower abdomen? A genuine question, so I'd genuinely appreciate your reaction...
