About this product

Product Information

In Victorian London, long before the term serial killer was coined, two series of murders played out that have captured the imagination of the whole world. The Jack the Ripper murders and the Thames Torso murders, so similar to each other, took place during the same period in London and have never been solved. In this book, journalist and researcher Christer Holmgren explains why the murders were never cleared up and names the East End carman Charles Lechmere as the culprit behind both series of murders. He was a man who claimed he found Jack the Ripper's first victim, but avoided to give his true name to the police. In the 2014 TV documentary The Missing Evidence -- Jack the Ripper, the case for Charles Lechmere as the Ripper was outlined. In it, a prominent barrister stated that the case would have been good enough to take to court. This makes Lechmere stand out amongst the many suspects named over the years: his is a case where it can be practically demonstrated how he is linked to the murders. More recent research suggests that Charles Lechmere also needs to be held responsible for the Thames Torso murder series, spanning the years 1873-1889. Guided by the help of experts, Holmgren links the cases together, establishes the underlying inspiration behind them, and beckons the originator of the murders out into the light, a century after his death

    • A new suspect is persuasively identified.

      The writer presents and names a 'new suspect': not - as has happened with some other studies in Ripperology - one that has been chosen circumstantially, but someone who has been in plain sight in reports. There is also supporting evidence based on local geography as it relates to the suspect. I have not read any crit. or comment on this book, but I am impressed. The writer presents his case rationally, without sensationalism, and readably. There are insights into the police and medical methods of the time, and how a lack of understanding of the nature of the killer misdirected investigation in a way one would like to think would not happen today. Ghouls may not be impressed by the illustrations which do not include (for example) the usual Mary Kelly murder scene photograph (though ...
