Jack the Ripper Victim's Grave in Tower Hamlets Cemetery?
Yes Levy was the Ripper.
Absolutely Amazing. I could watch your videos all day Very Mysterious Goings on about London Thank You Very Much. Cheers 🍻 🇬🇧🇺🇸🏴
Not to challenge your theory but to request additional context, you would think Robert Paul having just walked up to Lechmere would have noticed blood on Lechmere's hands/body. Assuming the act of cutting the victims throat from behind to minimise arterial spray would still result in getting blood on him from A. finishing the cut on her neck & B. from mutilating her abdomen. Anyone who's prepared steak or a trimmed a roast knows they have to hold it down to make accurate cuts. So how did he not notice blood on him?
Funny... When some famous Jewish Americans or Brits discover their ancestors came from former Polish territories that had been occupied by 123 years by Russia, Austria and Prussia, they present themselves as Russian, Austrian or Prussian Jews, no mention of Poland. But when a Jew born in the same territories during that period is suspected of having been Jack the Ripper - he is being described as a Polish villain. I call it racism.
What days were the killing non
A jew , well what a surprise
I don't believe it's kosminski but I don't think it's leachmere either .
The grave of Jack the Ripper? If you believe it was Lechmere.
Must of totally shocked the beat police that such murders out on the street could even happen. Sounds like they continuously covered the area. This would have made the search for the killer very personal
"The Ripper" got lucky. He hit a period of police incompetence. They were caught off guard and didn't have the capacity to handle the severity and frequencies of the crimes. It appears to me that Anderson was just fishing.
I'm excited to watch this. I have been reading about Jack for decades. Thanks.
Really interesting details re: Mary Ann's life and death. Still a fascinating subject. Great job.
Bit late watching this one. Excellent as usual Ed. Cheers. Edit. Dapper attire by the way. Cool look. 👍
Ha thanks!
Wish I could pull that look off. Im too scruffy 😂
Brilliant work Ed the research is impeccable..
Perhaps I used the wrong words what I ment was that in my opinion JTR didn't necessarily only target Unfortunates/prostitutes but that they were the easiest targets as they would take a client to a place where they could conduct business and ultimately death by JTR. But that we shouldn't necessarily assume that he only targeted such
With Lechmere as you believe to be JTR . Wouldn't have Paul seen some bloody on Lechmere. After all he had cut her throat so deep that lechmere didn't want to sit her up. Also what happend to the instrument that was use to cut her. It would have to be a blade of some length not just a pocket knife. To me Lechmere would most definitely had blood on him. If Paul says he didn't see any. I would be hange a question mark on that too. Unless of course they were working together. I truly can except there was no blood on Lechmere if in fact he was the killer. And that Paul would not have spotted it too.
Opinion is that the killer need not have had visible blood on him. The victim was strangled first, restricting blood flows.
Jack the ripper was the queens physician.
I'd rather of lived in them days...full of protestors and Hamas lovers now..way worst than old jack
5ft 3inches....Jack the nipper
Definitely some perv what caught sythlis off either one of them and taking revenge..Definitely angry..overkill..only the prossys would of known who he was..and they would of known him
Another fine video. Concise and well-researched. Looking forward to the next one... Thank you, Edward!
Great work Ed, but let me remind you that on the time before PC Neil passed by the the murder site; so the Northern route would have basically been the entire route. Actually, going all the way around at 2.5 mph and ignoring Queen Anne street (cover it when not doing Winthrop?), but ingressing partially up Thomas & Court street from the south, Whites row from the west, and up/down Winthrop street - even without taking the short cut through Nelson court, you can make it in 24 minutes. It would be slightly more than 1 mile. This route would have the added benefit of keeping him "within earshot" all through the night, but could not be briskly walked in 12 minutes. The intriguing thing is that Neil would have been situated roughly due west, and perhaps even ingressing west on White's row around the time that Robert Paul entered Buck's row. And the murderous phantom spooked by Lechmere fleeing westward would possibly run into PC Neil going up/down Thomas or Court street ... or be possibly heard going up Whites' row. Whoever the killer was, his pre planned escape route after 3:30 am would be westward, and if Robert Paull happened to be early, that route would have been unexpectedly blocked .... the killer would then have been undecided right there, slashed Ms Nichols' throat a 2nd time for good measure, and decided to bluff his way out.
If it takes Days or Weeks !! I’ll watch every History Lesson that you Produce Sir Thank You So Much 🙏✅🥂
JUST HOW DID YOU MANAGE TO MAKE SUCH A BORING VIDEO ?

You are very welcome
David Wilson is a total idiot. He got his professorship out of a cornflakes packet and dedicates his 'expertise' into peddling sensationalist serial killer copy paste click bait. I find him a disgrace to all those in academia that dedicate their lives to considering serious criminology, inclusing statistical analysis, modelling, and the development of theories and arguments which form the backbone of all academic advancement. As far as the BBC are considered, they are just a propoganda agency, and I suspect the 'woman' playing the person in the taxi is nothing other than a 'woman' because the BBC is fixated on 'women' being the people that do averything in the universe with men being nothing other than fumbling idiots.
I think this guy is totally wrong, but not in principle. Essentially I think that the Ripper murders were carried out by an organised group of one form or another that were just coming to be aware that they could shape public perception. As such, there was no one person wandering around killing people, but a group, working in a coordinated manner. What a lot of people don't get, even today, is the notion of power, and what that really means and conveys. I imagine they were probably acting with plausable deniability but covering the risks. I wont say much more as it would sound freaky, and I suspect other people have considered this before me. however, if this were the case, there is no scaope for profiling the boogey man.
How many murder series have ever been perpetrated by an organised group such as you suggest - ever anywhere?
So we can agree he didn't live in Liverpool and comute for each murder?
Yes we can agree on that
I've asked you this before Edward and I'd like to know if your answer is still the same as the one you gave me way back when.... You've described the knife wounds being in a downward motion. In your opinion what direction is the killer likely facing as he's doing his mutilating, if we take sideways to the body outside of the equation? Would you say the killer is more likely to be facing Brady Street or Baker's Row? You've also questioned as to why neither men alerted the railway policeman, prior to alerting P.C. Mizen, as he was nearer to the crime scene. Would you not agree that the onus in this particular point is more on Robert Paul? As he was likely to have been walking that route for around a decade, as opposed to Lechmere who had been walking it, at best for the better part of a couple of months? Robert Paul knew that road better than Lechmere, describing the road as a place where attacks were common and would more likely know where policemen were based and patrolling.
Regarding the railway Policeman arguably Paul would have been more aware of his presence - but we know he was anti police so may not have wanted to involve himself. Also his wife was about to give birth which may have made him less helpful. Whereas overtly Lechmere was Mr helpful, public spirited and humble and respectful to the coroner so what's his excuse? My view on the wounds is that the killed looked west raised the dress as a shield and cut into the body that way
@@thehouseoflechmere9407 "Whereas overtly Lechmere was Mr helpful, public spirited and humble and respectful to the coroner so what's his excuse? " : - Exactly what I previously wrote Edward.... Lechmere had only been taking that route to work for less than two months. He may not have known about the presence of a railway Policeman. In regards to which way the killer was facing, again I would have to disagree with you here Edward given the direction of the wounds. I believe he was facing Eastwards and gave no regard from what was coming from Baker's Row, but more alert to what may be coming down Brady Street. It would have been just as easy to lay Polly Nichols the other way before he started his mutilations. if his concern was more on an approach from the direction of Baker's Row.
@@andy5xcool I would guess Lechmere would have noticed a policeman at that gateway if he usually walked that way for 60 or so work days - 120 trips back and forth. Take Lechmere out of the equation for the other issue. Regarding laying the body down. This would have happened upon his strangling her and she would probably be difficult to maneuver round. Or she may have lain down herself before strangulation, again making maneuvers difficult if not impossible. If you visit the site it is obvious that the main point of potential danger is westwards as the distance to dead ground is only about 50 yards, whereas eastwards it is 130 yards. Any sensible culprit would be more worried about the western direction which would also be Neil's direction of travel - presuming the culprit knew this. And the direction to PC81 GER - if he knew this. The abdominal wounds were more superficial than the other victims - even the two deeper wounds and there were several minor stabs or slashes as well. I take it that he knelt pretty much over her face, pulled the dress up as a shield and then realised that the slashing was awkward - hence the uncertainty with the smaller wounds and even the nature of the two bigger ones. The minor wounds were lower down it seems and the knife may have hit bone. Preventing proper slashing. The longer wounds started under the rib cage - the thorax - and went down and away from him, whichbis slightly awkward. I think that's why they were not as drastic as seen with Chapman or Eddowes. He learnt from his error. This being his first properly outdoor attempt.
@andy5xcool ""I believe he was facing Eastwards and gave no regard from what was coming from Baker's Row, but more alert to what may be coming down Brady Street."" I can't believe ANYONE would "give no regard" to the blind spot just beyond the Board School and instead just focus on the far greater field of view towards Brady Street. The blind spot past the Board School is far more potentially problematic. You'd have to be stupid to give no regard to it.
Who cares?
Some do
great backdrop. all that effort and all he wares is a red polo shirt.
A branded red polo shirt
Your hat is crooked!
Battered
As Edward as pointed out, it’s the dress being pulled down. The concealing of the neck and abdominal wounds that’s the key to solving this. There’s no good explanation for this unless Lechmere did it himself. Great video as always! Where’s that HOL merch store? lol
Merch... that will come...
It was dark. If something is not observed it does not automatically mean it was deliberately covered up.
@@davekeating. Not so dark that they couldn't see her hat. They also described her dress as up to her hips. The abdominal wounds were covered. You could try to argue dudcthis by accident rather than by design. But the other victims including Tabram were left 'on display'.
@@thehouseoflechmere9407 Part of the Rippers M.O. was to leave the dismembered bodies on display for maximum effect when the sun came up. With Polly Nichols the Ripper struggled with her layered clothing. He’s learning as he goes along. He didn’t cut Polly’s clothing like he did later with Catherine Eddowes. He lifted up Polly Nichols’ clothing as best he could and sliced her lower abdomen. When disturbed he ran away, allowing her clothing to fall back down and cover her wounds but still leaving her clothing partially up and disturbed.
@@davekeating.I agree leaving the wounds on display was part of his MO and that the killer was disturbed. The obvious scenario is that Paul disturbed Lechmere.
How many lodging houses were in the Whitechapel area in 1888?
I've seen a figure of 233
@@thehouseoflechmere9407 Thanks, a lot of lodging houses
@@sameyers2670 Yes the area had the highest concentration in London which artificially skewed the poverty of the area and the overcrowding. Take them out of the equation and the East End then was not so poor or overcrowded.
Wow what an ending that photograph brilliant
It seems possible that Lechmere encountered Nichols on Whitechapel High street, not Buck's Row. Then suggested they conduct business around the corner on Bucks Row. After shell knelt to do her usual business, he strangled her, possibly by garrote, or belt or even by hands, then while mutilating her, heard the footfall of Paul. Perhaps fearing it to be a beat officer, he would know not to run, as that would raise an alarm. He wasn't sure what to do until Paul nearly passed him, and thinking quickly decided to make out like he had just discovered the body.
Yes exactly
Once again well done Sir
Well presented Sir
So nice of you
Thank you for a thoughtful presentation. As regards to Charles Lechemere as a prime suspect, do you have any thoughts about the estimated time of death as related to the theory he murdered his victims on his way to work? I recall hearing or reading somewhere that it was thought his shift began at 4 am.
His shift may have started at 4am - we don't know for sure. I've made other films discussing the Annie Chapman time of death
Well done video Edward.
It’s so ignorant and wrong for the woke to sanitise history, that’s how we learn. Life was very hard for most people, in most cases not of their own doing. Unfortunately this was the reality of life back then. The death of Mary Ann Nichols hits home hard to me. 40 years earlier, my own family were destitute, turned away by the church because the church didn’t have enough money to help anyone, so were forced to live on the street in what was then Hope Place, literally 100m directly behind the building where Mary Ann Nichols was murdered. Fortunately my family got a break and managed to get off the streets, many weren’t that fortunate.
A fascinating story
It should be noted that, as PC Mizen said at the inquest that the other man (Robert Paul) "I think he was also a carman" suggesting both men looked like a carmen, this should comfort Paul a bit. But apparently it didn't.
When I heard the theory about these women not being unfortunates and merely rough sleepers I had a similar moment to when someone told me that there is no such thing as evolution. Pushing a religious or politcal agenda to shoehorn a theory, historical or otherwise, is just pitiful.
Yes
Very poignant.
Fantastic, mate! You are second to none, Edward
Many thanks!
If Robert Paul stumbled upon Lechmere in the act, why was her body already so cold like Robert Paul stated? Lechmere doesn't fit the description of other witnesses either. Lechmere is a no for me.
Robert paul said he thought she was still alive. And Lechmere could fit virtually any of the vague witness descriptions
Read the book called, The Five: The Untold Lives of the Women killed by Jack The Ripper. Written by Hallie Rubenhold. Very, very good book. Very interesting.
But unfortunately very inaccurate
