I'm not sure whether this case has come up before.
It involves the murder and mutilation of a woman who is then found spread out all over the Thames.
There are just so many alarm bells in this case, and so much similarity to the crimes of Jack and how those crimes were investigated.
Essential reading for all.
The Times September 17th 1873 and onwards.
