Shwartz/Stride Timing

[Tani]

Hi friends,

Sorry if this has been done to death. I can't be bothered trawling through the forum to find this so apologies.

What is the time between Schwartz seeing BS man and Liz Stride death?

What time did the club close?

Sorry I know these are basic questions but I'm tired and I'm drinking.

Hi Tani,

When Stride's body was discovered, there were still people at the club, but there had been more there earlier.

We don't know exactly when Stride died and also don't know exactly when Schwartz saw BS man, but for the latter, Schwartz estimated 12:45. Stride's body was discovered just after 1:00, so she might have died as late as 1:00. Schwartz said that he saw her at 12:45 and Brown said that he saw her a few minutes after that, so if either of them really saw her, she couldn't have died before that sighting.

I don’t think that I’ve ever heard mention of a closing time for the club? Closing times were strict for pubs and beer houses but there were still men singing upstairs that could be heard from the streets..including by passing Constable’s like Smith, so I’m assuming that the club didn’t sell alcohol meaning that they could stay open as long as they wanted? I could certainly be wrong on this. Someone might know for certain.
