The Times - July 13th 1909.
‘The East End Murder - Dr. James Godding, deputy coroner for East London, concluded the inquiry at Stepney yesterday concerning the death of Kate Roman, aged 24 years, unmarried, and described as a domestic servant, who was found with her throat cut in a tenement room at Miller’s-court, Duval-street, Spitafields.
It was stated yesterday that a strange man was seen with the girl after midnight on the day in question. Alice Smith who occupied a room above that of Roman, said that about 1 30 she heard some heavy footsteps on the stairs. Inspector Wensley stated that every possible inquiry had been made, but the police had not succeeded in making any arrest in connexion with the crime.’ |

Quite a coincidence AP.Thanks for posting that.
Sounds like the guy was stalking her on the staircase.

Douglas says SKs tend to go back to the scene to relive the experience. You don't suppose . . . |

Hi Diana,
Yeah, I always wondered if maybe that was Jack back for more...
But then we also have other threads here on the boards about her case, and one where we find that someone confessed to the murder and was found guilty and sentenced to death. But then I don't know if we ever found a record of if the sentence was ever carried out or not.
Here's the main thread about that:

Thanks folks
I did know I had seen the case mentioned before on Casebook, but as ever a search revealed nothing, so I went ahead and posted the small detail.
I will see if I can find the outcome. |
