George Hutchinson;
For a man who claims to be a witness and who comes across as being the concerned friend to a woman who is subsequently slaughtered, butchered, and obliterated...to leave it a few days before coming forward to give his account, to then give an exceptionally detailed and exaggerated description...and then furthermore; leave behind absolutely no paper trail over time i.e. no census data, no birth certificate, no death record, no electoral role data...
This guy warrants further scrutiny.
If we were to get a list of every single George Hutchinson and then painstakingly sift through that list...i would imagine that it would feel like chasing shadows.
What's much more likely is that George Hutchinson wasn't his real name...although he signs his name on the statements.
I still believe there's a chance it could be George William Topping Hutchinson, because the signature on his marriage certificate closely matches one of the signatures on the statement...
The only issue relates to the difference in working roles. The witness George Hutchinson is said to have been a groom and/or labourer. However, George William Topping Hutchinson was a plumber, as was his father and his father before that.
He also had a sister called Jane.
When we compare Hutchinson to another witness like Lechmere, the difference in what we know is staggering. We can pretty much build an entire life story for Lechmere/Cross...because he left a paper trail like everyone else.
Whereas George Hutchinson only seems to exist within the parameters of the JTR case...and that is suspicious enough as it is.
