        You are right, and if you digest my post you will see that I say there is only a 50% chance that they were murdered, and when a cause of death cannot be established, and there is no other evidence in support of a murder then the true verdict back then should have been "found dead" or today it would recorded as an "open verdict"

        In 1961, Angus Sinclair bound, gagged, raped and strangled a girl. In 1977, seven women were bound, gagged, raped and strangled - and Sinclair lived in Glasgow, where it happened.

        Did the police suspect Sinclair? No, not for a moment. Did they connect the murders by way of similarities? No, they did not.

        You cannot compare the workings of a modern day serial killer to one 130 years ago, likewise you cannot compare a Victorian police investigation to a modern day one, so much has changed in 130 years on both fronts

        You can put all the trust you want in how the Victorian police would have made the connection between the Ripper and the torso cases, if it was there.

        Me, I take a look at the overall understanding of these types of crimes at the time, and I have had my explanation to why the connection was not made.
        And that is simply your opinion with no tangible evidence to back it up or to connect the torsos with a serial killer, and to connect the Whitechapel murders to a make believe torso killer.

          You are making my point for me. The torso victims differed. The killer apparently did not work to a closed pattern. So looking for such a pattern will be a waste of time.

            The chance cannot be weighed in percentages, Trevor. The exercise is utter folly. All and sundry agreed that it was a series of murders - well, before you surfaced, that is.

            In 1961, Angus Sinclair bound, gagged, raped and strangled a girl. In 1977, seven women were bound, gagged, raped and strangled - and Sinclair lived in Glasgow, where it happened.

            Did the police suspect Sinclair? No, not for a moment. Did they connect the murders by way of similarities? No, they did not.

            One would have thought that the police actually learnt something over such a span of time. But no...?

            You can put all the trust you want in how the Victorian police would have made the connection between the Ripper and the torso cases, if it was there.

            Abdominal flaps are extremely tangible. But why discuss this with you? You honestly don´t seem to understand how ridiculous your suggestions are. Which is good for you, but not for the case as such.

            The sooner we reach the stadium where you say that you are not going to go on arguing since it is throwing pearls for pigs, the better. Oink!

              At the very least we can say that all the torso victims had their heads and limbs removed, and that all but one of them were dumped in West London over more than a decade.

                And not one head was ever found, do you not think that is a significant factor.?

                Were the removal of the heads to hide the identity, if it was for what purpose, why would a serial killer want to hide the identity of a down and out female he had just murdered, and if there were a serial killer why would he go to all that trouble to dismember a body, when it could have simply have been dumped anywhere in the dead of night had and all.

                The WM killed his victims where he met them, so no positive comparisons there with the torsos.

                  Alternatively, we can say than none but one had body parts dug down and subsequently found.

                  Alternatively, we can say that two of the torsos only had their abdomens cut open from sternum to groin.

                  Alternatively, we can say that one torso only had a leg attached to the body.

                  Alternatively, we can say that one torso only had parts dumped in Regents Canal.

                  Alternatively, we can say that one torso only was found with the head.

                  Depending on which torso we have a burning desire to take away from the score (for whatever reason), we can pick and choose which detail to opt for to do so.

                  If the Pinchin Street torso is the torso we feel a burning desire to take away from the score (for whatever reason), we may do well to ponder that the distance between St Pancras lock to Pinchin Street is more or less the same as the distance from St Pancras lock to Battersea Park. So unless we can think up any reason for why the torso killer would be opposed to enter Pinchin Street, we need a reason to explain why he was willing to go to St Pancras lock. Moreover, the distance from Battersea Park to Pinchin Street is more or less equivalent to the distance between Battersea Park and St Pancras lock. So if he could travel north to St Pancras lock, then why was it impossible for him to travel east to Pinchin Street, given that the distances are very much alike, as the crow flies? I am having all sorts of trouble understanding that, but I would be happy to have it explained to me.

                  Then again, we can accept the bid of the expert Hebbert, who saw the wounds in minute detail and stated that they were in all similar in all cases. The advantage of going with the informed expert is that:

                  A/ It makes us look trustworthy and interested in the fact details
                  and
                  B/ We do not have to dabble with the facts to try and impose an unsubstantiable view on people.

                  That´s two great points, easily achieved. It took me all of a nano-second.

                    Correction, the head of the Tottenham torso WAS found.

                    Plus, of course, if he threw the heads in the Thames together with the rest of the parts, the heads would sink to the bottom. Whether he knew this or not is written in the stars.

                    There is also the possibility that he kept the heads.

                    What there is not is any evidence at all that he kept the heads from the police for reasons of wanting to hide the identities of the victims. If he did, then how clumsy was it to leave a victims´own clothes on the body? And to leave moles and scars?

                      Fisherman,
                      If you are including the murders of Helen Scott and Christine Eadie in these 7 murders, they were actually abducted/picked up from an Edinburgh pub, "The World's End".

                        Yes, Scott and Eadie are included, and it´s a very well known case. And true enough, they were picked up in Edinburgh, so thanks for pointing that out. I actually think that all the victims of 1977 were picked up in pubs. May be wrong on that, though.
                        Overall, Sinclair was a frequent visitor of Edinburgh, that is not far away from Glasgow. So the connection was an obvious one here too - or should have been.

                            Re the murders of Helen Scott and Christine Eadie, there is compelling evidence to suggest that Sinclair targeted them in The Worlds End pub with his brother in law Gordon Hamilton.

                            A probable case of folie a deux.

                            Are you considering the possibility of more than one killer for the torso killings?

                              There were traces from Hamilton found on the clothes of the victims, possibly semen. He died before the case could be pursued, though.

                              I have one killer and one killer only for the torso murders. AND the Ripper murders. And the Pinchin Street victim is included there...

                              I am economical in that sense.

                              The kind of ritualistically coloured background and inspiration drive I believe to be there is not something that a killer is likely to share with somebody else. If there was a second participator, then my best bet is that he or she was forced into it by the real killer - but I see no indication whatsoever that there were two torso killers.

                              Do you see such a thing yourself?

                                One can´t help feeling that it is a tad ironic that poor Herlock, who says I failed to pick up on how his comment about Scandinavian teeth grinding was a joke has now fallen prey to misunderstanding what even I realized was a joke.

                                Maybe he didn´t see the movie.
