Hello all,
Watching a documentary about the pig farm murders, it struck me that these murders have quite a bit in common with the JTR murders.
The victims were ordinary women who had fallen as low as they could be, and although they didn't need money for their accomodation, they were desperate for money to buy drugs. They were homeless inasmuch as they moved from fleapit hotel to fleapit hotel in the worst area and relied on their own judgement to choose a "safe" client. One victim, her face badly scarred from a previous beating, echoed Kate Eddowes words, claiming that she could see which clients were dangerous and would therefore be safe from attack (she wasn't). The one victim who escaped, even though the key to the handcuffs she wore was found in Willie Picton`s pocket, was deemed to be of low credibility because of her drug addiction and her case never came to court.
Willie Picton showed the same contempt for his victims as JTR by throwing their bodies to the pigs, and passing whatever was left over on to a rendering plant (didn't fancy wearing lipstick for a while after I heard what happens to products from there!). He kept body parts as trophies (frozen) and got his enjoyment from hanging up and slaughtering his victims "like pigs at a market". He would apparently caress his victims to calm them before slapping on the handcuffs behind their backs and garotting them.
He wasn't "posh", but was wealthy and ran a bogus charity, perporting to help drug addicts beat their addiction and at least some some of the residents on his farm kept quiet because they were given plenty of money for drugs and a roof over their heads. In other words they did not take part in the crimes but were, in a way, accomplices who had a great deal to lose if they betrayed him. (Presumably a "posh" Jack would have had servants who would have lost their livelihoods if they betrayed him, with not much chance of a new job).
He enjoyed playingin a semisexual way with parts of the animals he had slaughtered..
Obviously there are differences, but I maintain that there are more similarities.
The documentary I watched was called "The pig farm" and is available on YouTube.
Disagree all you want, but I think this is worth discussing and could tell us a little more about JTR.
Best wishes,
