Hi, all:
Ironically, just prior to the Liverpool Jack the Ripper convention, it has been reported that the butchered remains of a prostitute have been found in a Liverpool city alley.
According to the article in today's Liverpool Echo--
"MURDER squad detectives were today (Monday, July 21) hunting a killer after the butchered remains of a body were found in an alley. The chopped-up naked body which was found stuffed inside binbags in Everton is thought to be that of vice-girl Pauline Stephen. . . . The body had been subject to a frenzied attack."
To read the full story, go to "Body parts found in alley"
All the best

Hi all:
We shouldn't jump to conclusions and I don't know whether anyone was ever arrested for these prior crimes, but the dismembered body newly discovered in Liverpool is similar to the finding of the dismembered remains of a number of women in London, including the remains of another Liverpool prostitute and drug addict in 2001.
See "Ripper hunt police in new move"
and "Police identify woman's dismembered body"

Hi, all--
The police are questioning a Liverpool area man in connection with the deaths of two women. It was found that the garbage bags found in an alleyway originally thought to contain the body of one woman actually contained the remains of two women. See

Hi, all:
A second woman whose remains were found in a Liverpool alleyway several days ago has been identified as 19-year-old Hanane Parry. She has been named as the second of two Liverpool prostitutes found murdered, cut to pieces and stuffed in garbage bags. Meanwhile, a local man, Mark Corner, 26, was arrested on Monday evening in connection with the killings. Murder squad detectives were today asking magistrates for more time to continue questioning him. See

Hi all:
Professor David Canter, Director of the Centre for Investigative Psychology at the University of Liverpool and a recent speaker at the Liverpool Jack the Ripper conference, was one of the authorities who spoke at an international conference on prostitution hosted by the university and just held in the city. The attendees considered the question "Should the sale of sex on Britain's streets be legalised?"
Canter cited the recent Liverpool prostitution murders as an example of what can happen when prostitution is not regulated. He said: "Following the recent brutal murder and dismemberment of two Liverpool prostitutes, the risks of the trade have never been more real. In a civilised society we need to find a way of helping women out of this dangerous and degrading trade or of managing their activities so that violence is minimised."
See "Call to legalise street walkers"
Best regards

Hi, all--
Those of us interested in the Whitechapel murders of 1888 will be interested in the opening words of one of several articles on Liverpool area killer Mark Corner who has been labeled in the Merseyside press a latter-day Jack the Ripper. In Britain today, the name "Ripper" seems to be being applied to mutilation style murders rather than Ripper-style killings as we know them. "Evil Mission of the Ripper" appears in the Liverpool Echo today:
"Evil Mark Corner was embarking on a modern-day Jack the Ripper-style killing spree when he was caught, the ECHO can reveal today. The schizophrenic believed he was on a mission to kill prostitutes. Corner ended the lives of two prostitutes within 24 hours and detectives are certain he intended to murder more."
As related in another article, "Ripper caged," Corner, found to be mentally incompetent, was today locked up indefinitely for butchering the two streetwalkers inside his Liverpool flat. Some body parts had been hidden by the murderer in Stanley Park, the killer's brother revealed, and these remains have been recovered after a police search of the park. Corner was arrested after the mutilated remains of prostitutes Hanane Parry and mother-of-one Pauline Stephen were found in bin bags in an alley in St. Domingo Vale, Everton, Liverpool, in July 2003.

People have no really thought about who these people were, where they came from, what they were like who they touched the hearts of. Everyone just wants to read an intersting story over there toast and tea, but does anyone feel the agonising pain of losing her, does anyone actually stop and think that we've lost a great person.} |

Hi all
The following may be of interest in terms of its relevance to our crime series of 1888 as well as a follow-up to the July 2003 mutilation murders of two prostitutes in Liverpool by a latter-day "Ripper", as described in the local press, that began this thread. As mentioned before, University of Liverpool serial killer expert and geographic profiler Dr. David Canter has been one of those behind the push to legalize prostiution in Liverpool.
From the Baltimore Sun, Sunday, February 20, 2005, several quotes from an extensive article--
"This city on England's west coast, on the edge of the Irish Sea, is being rejuvenated against the odds. It is bucking a trend of fallen port cities in Europe and the United States that are drowning in problems they cannot seem to overcome.
"Now prepared to tackle another barrier to the city's more complete restoration, Liverpool officials voted last month to create Britain's first red-light district."
The article begins by describing a drug-addicted prostitute named Mercedes, real name Virginia Thompson, age 31, a woman who wears "a split-legged skirt with a leopard-skin pattern and a dirty white coat with a furry hood. When the coat is open at the collar it is easy to see the cigarette burn on her neck. She also has been arrested at least 20 times for selling sex and as result of her addiction to drugs, which for most women here go hand-in-hand."
Ms. Thompson, we are told, has worked the Liverpool city center streets for twelve years, "all of them hooked on drugs", her current addiction being to crack cocaine.
The following words from Thompson are a chilling echo of the lives of the "Unfortunates" who became the victims of the Whitechapel murderer. Her answer came to the question she was asked whether she thinks the new red-light district will be a good idea:
"I reckon it'll be better for us -- less girls getting done in. I still got all me teeth, and I'd like to get out before I look like them."
