    And risk being beaten up by him when he was released without charge? By framing him as a parting gift, she could be sure there'd be no comebacks.

      Why would he freak out in your scenario? Why would he mutilate her? Why would he put her in a box?

          Hi Sam
          IMHO this is really farfetched. especially since he was obsessed about NOT being accused of being the ripper.

          to me the most obvious explanation is they got in a drunken row and he killed her. now why he mutilated the abdomen is a head scratcher, unless of course he was the ripper.

            You do understand that Bury confessed to murdering Ellen?

            Ellen would definitely have understood the risk of a beating by Bury. If she had taken the significant step of going to the police and telling them that her husband was the Ripper, it’s reasonable to believe she either would have been finished with him at that point and would not have gone back to him, or she would have explained her situation to the police, perhaps resulting in some accommodation.

              I daresay that the people who intend to hold this "retrial" understand that, too.

                Oh, I think so too, Abby, but I'm open to the possibility of suicide, followed by a pissed-up WH Bury losing it and cutting her a bit.

                Actually, it was little more than an abdomen-scratcher.

                  The main reason's Bury is not regarded as the top Ripper suspect is because he's not a glam enough suspect and alternatively people would rather have the romance of an Unknown Local be the Ripper than Bury.

                    The main reason against his being the Ripper are because the injuries he inflicted on his wife are very minor even when compared to those inflicted on the outdoor victims of the Ripper, and positively trivial compared to the Ripper's only indoor victim. There are other factors, of course, but his not being "glam" enough isn't one of them.

                      I have to disagree Sam. Bury is a proven violent murderer who fits the Psyche profile's as much as you would expect from Jack. Also your recent posts proposing Ellen committing suicide have not shown you as being a particularly rational person to say the least.

                        It's also difficult to imagine a sawdust vendor as Jack the Ripper.

                          I wasn't the one who proposed that she committed suicide for starters, and I've not made any irrational comments on the matter either. Anyone with an ounce of objectivity will be able to see that for themselves by reading my posts.

                          For clarity, I still think it likely that she was killed, which I clearly said in my response to Abby - in which I also stated that I was prepared to entertain the possibility that she committed suicide, that's all.

                            Those who state entertain the possibility who then go on to propose something so unlikely that it is a completely irrational scenario are still being irrational.

                                I've not posted anything even slightly "irrational" (never mind completely irrational) on this thread, and the fact that you think that I have speaks volumes about your ability to reason objectively in this matter.
