Hi gentlemen
Sorry to state the obvious.
Mary Kelly was a prostitute make no bones about that, even the occupation on her death certificate states prostitute. I have every sympathy for Kelly and all the other victims of Jack the Ripper, but they were all prostitutes. In my opinion, all the murdered women were actively soliciting when they met their killer, the fact that they were soliciting made it all the more easy for their killer.
I know there are some posters who doubt the word of Cox, but her evidence is to some extent corroborated by the couple who also heard Kelly singing in the early hours. Therefore it seems that Blotchy man is a flesh and blood reality. In my opinion he was a client, if he wasn’t, and was a casual acquaintance of Kelly then how was he not recognised by Kelly’s friends? Therefore Blotchy man must remain a prime suspect in the murder of Mary Kelly.
I don’t know what to think of Hutchinson, his detailed description of the well heeled man beggars belief, but he was in position, opposite Miller’s court at 2:30 on the morning of Kelly’s murder, he must remain a suspect. The only saving grace for Hutchinson might remain in the fact that he buttered up his description of the man he saw with Kelly, witnesses have been known to do this, if he did, then it’s quite possible that he saw Kelly with a man who was more suited for the locale.
