The Whitehall Mystery

On 3 October, 1888, a headless and limbless torso of a woman was found near Whitehall, in a cellar that would soon be part of New Scotland Yard^?. The are were later found in the Thames. Some attribute this crime to Jack the Ripper, though the police did not. It does not seem improbable to suggest a connection to the Pinchin Street Murder, however, owing to the similar modus operandi.

See Casebook: Jack the Ripper for a brief discussion, and note particularly the "dissertations" and other discussion on that site.
