Similarities between JTR and Thames Torso murders?

[Abby Normal]

What are the distinct similarities between the Jack the Ripper killings and the Thames Torso Murders?

1. Both happened in Whitechapel (Pinchin St)
2. Abdominal mutilation (Pinchin St)
3. Facial mutilation (Battersea Mystery)
4. Uterus removal (Elizabeth Jackson)
5. Abdominal flaps cut away (Elizabeth Jackson)
6. Both series ostensibly end in 1889

I've deliberately left out some obvious ones, like the victims being prostitutes, since sex workers are common prey for serial killers.

Hi HarryD!

i wouldnt leave out prostitutes-I know many do target them, but different serial killers target different victimology. children, men, boys, college coeds. etc.

anyway some more:

nose cut off (tottenham 84)
face targeted (battersea and Tottenham)
at night
ruse involved
skill with knife/cutting
anatomical knowledge
rings stolen
remains left in shocking and public places ("displayed")
no overt signs of sexual abuse
no torture
fascination with what their cutting instruments could do to the female body
unsolved

also, im glad you included they both ended at the same time. Ive been banging on about that forever, with little recognition. Good to see someone finally notice. and ive seen no good explanation for that incredible "coincidence"!
