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 NewScotlandYard^?. The are were later found in TheThames^?. Some attribute this crime to JackTheRipper, though the MetropolitanPolice did not. It does not seem improbable to suggest a connection to the PinchinStreetMurder, 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.
