- In this video we head for the east End of London in the aftermath of the murder of Mary Kelly, which took place on Friday the 9th of November, 1888.
Our guide is a reporter from the London Evening News, who provided an insight into how the local people were reacting, and the impact that this and the previous murders was having on the businesses in the district.
The article also gave an alarming idea of just where the murderer was in between the murders, as well as an explanation as to why the crimes were occurring on weekends.
Whenever you see Richard Jones listed in the credits, you know it's the stamp of quality research and excellent presentation.
Great video. Thanks for sharing. Hearing about the empty streets & the coffee vendors not getting any business was pretty interesting.
Thanks for watching!
The one issue I have with the butcher or fireman on a cattle boat theory is that Jack The Ripper took souvenirs. It seems incredibly risky to keep body parts with you on a cramped boat.
Good point . Maybe he enjoyed his souvenirs for a short period of time , then disposed them before boarding the ship ? I'm glad my family didn't live in White Chapel in the late 1880s . RIP to the Rippers victims .
Another great video Richard. This case will never not be fascinating. Thank you for all you do on this subject
Richard + Jack The Ripper + Coffee/ not tea/ + Sunday video = Awesome Sunday... Richard , you are the man!
Very kind of you.
Another gem.
It's these insightful little stories surrounding the Whitechapel Murders that lift this channel above all others. Of course the fact that Mr. Jones could narrate the phonebook and still keep anyones attention while doing so, only helps.
You should be the one and only narrator when it comes to The Whitechapel Murders Richard. Absolutely first class as always.
I second that opinion 😊💕!
Very interesting post thank you.
Sharing your encyclopaedic knowledge with us here is appreciated, Richard.
Thank you for the video, Mr. Jones!
It’s going to be good , will watch tonight, thank you Richard 👍
One thing about some of the locals reaction on Mary’s murder that always puzzled and chilled me is that some was sure that they see Mary that morning and after the time of her death.One account was from a delivery boy to a pub.He told that he see Mary with some other people,other women and a man or men..If I remember the delivery boy said that Mary acknowledged him with a smile and he last remembered Mary and the other people leaving the pub.Ive always thought what the other women looked like that Mary was seen with..The delivery boy seemed only to know Mary Kelly from the area.Could the other ladies(and this is my own ghostly thought on this),look like Mary Nichols,Annie Chapman,Catharine Eddowes,etc,perhaps Martha Tabram..If only the boy could have described these others more.
It was a strange account from the boy.But others reported they see Mary singing or about the morning after her murder..
Thank you for your video and great work on this case..🎩👍
I too remember reading that Mary Kelly had been seen afterwards and that the poor girl on the bed was a friend of Mary’s.
@@keithnaylor1981 Thank you for your kind comment..Yes the lady in pieces on that bed might have been someone else..Not to ally Mary Kelly with the Ripper at all..But Mary said she wanted to go back to Ireland to neighbors..So it might be Mary hired her room out to another “working girl”..Imagine Mary coming back to her room and walking in to a horrific sight like that..Could anyone blame her for just walking away from that room and the whitechapple for good.!.Maybe the thought that killer was really after her and time to go.!.No fuss and avoidance of any questions,perhaps changing her name as well..Who knows?..But that’s the thing with this case that still haunts us today..There are so many mysteries surrounding it..👍
Wonderful work Mr. Richard Jones !!
After all these years, it's still very sad 😢 that the women of Jack the Ripper are not resting in peace and that the monster who killed them is still not known. I don't think it will ever know who it was who did this awful thing.
A dead person does not rest - in peace or otherwise.
Most likely Aaron Kosminski. Some pretty STRONG evidence against him
Considering the 60 year old case of the assassination of John Kennedy remains unsolved in the minds of anyone that has a double digit IQ or better, I would say you are right.
@jimlewis2395
Not a jot of evidence for Kosminski. Only Lechmere has any real evidence against him.
@@jimlewis2395 No evidence against Kosminsky at all. He's a red herring
Great video Richard but there is 1 thing you missed, and that is the 9th of November was a public holiday due to the Lords Mayor of Londons Parade.
Thanks for this. I was wondering what the people at the time were feeling/dealing with mentally after that last horror.
I wonder if records could show a particular cattle boat in London at the time of each murder.
I was thinking the same thing. Has any contemporary Ripperologist investigated this scenario? Of course it would rely on records from the London docks from this period still existing.
As always, a very interesting video, Richard! Thank you 💞!
Very insightful. Great video!
Many thanks for another great presentation :)
Great work as always Mr. Jones.
Was there ever a contemporary discussion whether the Whitechapel murders could have been committed by a battlefield surgeon, someone who dropped out of Army Medical School or even a surgeon's assistant?
There were quite a few wars and conflicts within the British Empire at the time, and it wouldn’t be surprising at all if army doctors lost their minds on more than one occasion.
But were there any of them living in Whitechapel at the time? Not the kind of place they would choose to call home.
I feel like Jack the Ripper must have known Mary Jane Kelly. What he did to her just seems too personal.
Another theory to consider 🤔
Yes I think George Hutchinson is a good suspect.
She was a prostitute so he probably knew her as such.
There is no evidence that Maybrick knew Kelly… But it is possible
Her boyfriend at time did it !
Lots of info I have never run across before, such as the coffee shops, and drovers.
I could have listened for another half hour at least!
“…Listening with diabolical enjoyment” I agree.
a solution would have been, if a working girl had a client, insist he first meet up with a few of her fellow prostitute friends for only a moment. Most normal clients would have no reason to say no, yet JTR would not agree as he would be clearly described/ ID'd by at least 1 witness who knew the future victim.
Tsk! The audacity of the fellow. It was evidently that scathing rebuke which shamed 'Jack' into retiring her (or his) reprehensible proclivities.
I've always felt it wasn't some local "bloke" who did these murders.
It almost certainly was.
Correct
@@lyndoncmp5751 Yes, must have known area backwards,
First! Love your narration
Much appreciated!
The very voice of Ripperology
Why was scaling fences not an option? The direct route is to go over, not around or through. Locked gates (existence of gates) stop being an issue to egress.
I cannot see the sewer.
In the US, manhole covers are about about 200 pounds in weight. Was there a standard size and/or weight for sewer access covers in 1888 London?
You could make a video about the other murder in Millers Court a decade later.
Richard has already done 1 u have 2 look for it tho
Is it possible Jacob Levy was the suspect being watched by city police?
The written word, in journalism at least, used to be so much more cultured didn't it. It seems to form a strange sort of juxtaposition with the ruthless brutality that it's speaking of.
To those who have a good knowledge of the "cattle boat theory", I have watched probably 100 or more videos on the Ripper case and this is the first one that has mentioned this. All focus on a local perpetrator or someone in the city, not someone who is coming in and out on a boat. Is the cattle boat a prevailing theory amongst those who study this case or is this dismissed or seen as a secondary theory due to other circumstances in the case? Thanks.
It wasn't Mary Kelly the neighbours saw the morning after. It was Mary Pearcey. Or Lizzie Williams. Another woman was in Mary Kelly's room that night. And left after Mary Kelly was dead.
On the list of suspects believed to be Jack, one of them must be right.
I've often wondered why the murderer of Mary locked the door when he was leaving.
Has anyone any ideas about this?
It was Maybrick… He wanted the door to be broken down
Yeah it was her boyfriend barnett!
The Ripper was Maybrick…. This is a proven fact!!!
If only one of those mentioned amateur detectives was a certain famous fictional one maybe we'd know Jack's true identity.
I heard they were cool with it.
Was Jack the Ripper the first incel??
Jumping Jack Flash was perhaps a time traveller 🧳 good as guess as any i can suggest.. experts are experts because they really all know nothing. 👌 "They call me a doctor now ... 🫶
