Hello,
I am new here, so, please pardon me if I am touching on something that has already been covered.
I just started reading Philip Sugden's book "The complete history of Jack the Ripper". One thing I noticed about Martha Tabram and her death is the following:
Coroner placed her time of death at about 2:30 am. Mahoney family came home at about 1:40, wife left for a minute, they ate supper, and at about 1:50 they went to bed. At this time, there was no body. George Crow comes home at about 3:30 am, sees a body, but doesnt think much of it and goes to bed. John Saunders leaves to go to work and finds the body lying in a pool of blood at about 4:45 am. The question I have: Where is there mention of George Crow's bloody footprints?
This woman was stabbed 39 times throughout the body, especially the neck. If she had been killed at 2:30, there would have already been a pool of blood by the time George Crow came home.
So was she really killed at 2:30 or more closer to 3:30 am and George Crow either missed the killer or is the killer.

G'day Tia,
I don't think it is mentioned which floor of the George Yard building George lived on or if he had to walk past Tabby on the way to his room.
Interesting thought that he might have been the killler, but I reckon it was more likely the punting soldier or my preference that it was two people.

G'day Lea, Great to see ya mate.
There's been a name change. Since I've met my mum I've changed my name by deed poll to Nicholas Smith, the name mum called me when I was born.
I'll still post under the name Jules though as that's who everyone knows me as.
Take care love and I'll be in touch. There's stuff we've gotta talk about.
Love
Jules |
