Was Jack The Ripper Actually Caught?

In 1888 and 1889, a vicious serial killer haunted the streets of London. Five women were brutally murdered in Whitechapel, and all except one of the five victims - Elizabeth Stride - were horribly mutilated. And those are only the murders officially linked to the killer; it’s likely he took the lives of many more. To this day the identity of the murderer is unknown, but he has a name - Jack The Ripper. One theory is that he was the convicted killer William Bury.
Unlike most of the suspects, Bury was hanged for murder after brutally killing and disfiguring his wife. The similarities between the brutalities inflicted on Mrs Bury and those suffered by the Ripper victims are remarkable. And when Bury handed himself in to police in Dundee, claiming that his wife had committed suicide, he said he was worried that people might think he was Jack the Ripper.
Today we restage the trial with new witnesses and new evidence. In the very same courtroom that Bury was tried in, we sit as the jury on the case with modern technology and forensic experts. HistoryHit.TV have teamed up with the forensic science unit at the University of Dundee, and legal teams from the University of Dundee and the University of Aberdeen to see if we can, at long last, find the truth. Did William Bury, hanged for the murder, kill his wife? And was he Jack the Ripper?

The letters could have been compared. However, nothwithstanding the fact that no one knows who wrote three or four most important letters, before the deluge of fake letters after the police shared knowledge of the original letter's existence, I suspect a comparison was done and no comparison made. Moreover, like the graffito in London, who knows if these two scribblings were recorded. If not, we do not know they even existed. But the inclusion of the tour guide talking about the Jack letters, for me, points to a failed comparison being made. Bury didn't commit the Ripper murders. The MO just does not match. And there's no solid evidence at all.

There is another suspicious character who killed his wife who was also from Bow at one time. His name was William Burrett and you can find his crime on the old Bailey. He disembowelled his partner and he was living with her while her job was as a prostitute. He hanged for his crime against his partner. The women were asked to leave the courtroom because the details of the case were so grim. The fatal wound was that in her abdomen and she had been stabbed 7 times.

@kariannecrysler640 Месяц назад

The attempt to hide the body is a signature not associated with the ripper murders. So I could see two reasons for this: attempts to disguise a suicide for the victim to receive proper burial or an opportunist trying to mimic ripper murders that has more remorse than the actual ripper murder.

@kategaging3363 Месяц назад

The fact it was his wife might have forced him to go to these means though because it’s far not likely he would get connected the death and blamed for her death

@pheart2381 Месяц назад

I dont think the Ripper had a sense of remorse. Its likely he wanted the bodies to be found. I don't think remorse was a sensation he would have been familiar with in any part of his life.

@kategaging3363 Месяц назад

Yes that’s what I’m saying-he attempted to hide the body/stage the scene this time because he knew he would be connected to the murders. Nothing to do with remorse. I’m definitely not saying he is Jack the Ripper but I’m just saying we shouldn’t right it off because the actions after the killing and placement of the body was different to the others-I’m just saying that there is a possible explanation for this difference that doesn’t neccassarily discount him from the other murders.

Production specific comment, not video specific. You guys desperately need someone to help you improve the quality and consistency of your videos' audio (I'm not looking for a job lol). The content is outstanding, but the audio is sometimes a huge pain. Just because the in-camera and narrative voices sound good on one system in one environment, doesn't mean that quality translates to others. It's frustratingly inconsistent between and within different videos you post. The start of this video sounds great on headphones, but terrible on laptop speakers. The background music stomps all over Dan's narration. The audio problems you're facing are not new problems, they've been solved many (many) times before.

@@Heygoodlooking-lk9kg What I think the programme demonstrates is that evidence for any individual being Jack the Ripper is scant. A list of potential suspects is reeled off and the only evidence against them is circumstantial. Same with Bury. He was in the right place at the right time. The murders ceased when he moved to Dundee. When his wife died he mutilated the body in a manner similar to The Ripper. The graffiti on the walls is suggestive but no more. Was Bury The Ripper? He could have been but so could hundreds of others. More interesting was the trial and the forensic evidence. The Ripper aspect is secondary really.

@janerkenbrack3373 Месяц назад

This shows us that cases are won and lost on presentation of the case, not necessarily on the facts. The circumstances of this clearly and strongly suggest the man murdered his wife. His refusal to try and account for why he had mutilated her corpse and packed her into a box, only give more support to murder. If I were trying this case I would paint a plausible narrative. The wife is upset with being moved away from home and lodged in a squalid flat, her husband drinking away her money, and the subsequent violence. In a rage he strangles her and mutilates her body. Perhaps he was Jack the Ripper, maybe he confessed to her and she wrote it on the walls. Maybe he did so in his drunken state. He packs her body up with the idea of smuggling it out and dumping it, before fleeing town. As he sobers up, he realized how implausible that he could get rid of her body without notice, or have enough resources to get far away without being caught. So he concocts a tale of suicide and hopes for a lucky jury. In the second trial, that is what he got.

@host_theghost507 24 дня назад

This is a good illustration of why you don't just rely on forensic experts: they're never going to say that something *couldn't* happen, which leaves too much room for doubt in the jury's mind. The prosecution needed to present a theory and they also needed to remind the jury that Elizabeth was a victim even before she died. As we saw in America at the O.J. Simpson trial, if the jury has more sympathy for the accused than they do for the victim, they are likely to ignore all kinds of evidence, no matter how conclusive it is. But of course this was for an anatomy program, so of course the forensic pathologists ran the show.

@ZurlHammerdoom 4 дня назад

Here is another very plausible explanation. Ellen, realizes she has married and followed a poor excuse for a man, that her life could not get any worse, that she is now penniless, more or less alone, and at the mercy of a drunken abuser. No longer willing to suffer such a life she hangs herself. William comes home drunk out of his gourde and finds his wife killed herself. Being the drunken abuser he is he then grabs a knife and stabs her several times while cussing at his bad luck for marrying such a weak and thankless woman. He rescues her from prostitution, gives her a house and a legitimate life, and she thanks him by killing herself. He then drags a wooden box into his living room and forces her body inside doing whatever is necessary, ie: breaking her legs. When he awakes from his drunken stupor he realizes his nightmare wasn’t actually a nightmare but reality instead. Seeing how badly he mutilated the body he is now embarrassed and shocked. So, he goes to the police and reports his wife’s death. The reason he doesn’t testify is because he is embarrassed at his drunken tirade and feels guilty for driving her to suicide. He is also afraid of being linked to the Jack the Ripper murders. He is afraid that speaking about how brutal and heartless he was with the body might cause the jury to make connections that aren’t really there. Especially so with what was written outside his flat.

"Was Jack The Ripper Actually Caught?" Yes, both literally and metaphorically. His name was Charles Allen Lechmere (the guy who was found at the scene of Polly Nichols murder). QC James Scobie agrees the evidence collected is sufficient for a modern murder trial.

@MrBeckenhimself 12 дней назад

False. The so called case against Lechmere is based on make belief. It's all about he could have done this and he could have done that. As for actual evidence to tie him to the murders there is none. Pretend time is not the same as factual evidence. We don't have anything to link Lechmere to The Ripper murders. Nothing and if you claim there is then spit it out. I've watched the house of Lechmere channel. Same thing, make belief and could have and nothing more. The only suspect who can be linked to two of the murders more than Lechmere mind you is the man who is the prime suspect. Kosminski, and even with the DNA on the shawl connected to the Eddowes murder, even with the witness probably Schwartz identifying Kosminski as the man who attacked Liz Stride. Even with that we still can't say it was him.

a good video, and a fun addition of a "trial". But i find that they left out many key questions in their questioning of the experts. And also the question, could he have been framed. It sound like its all a work based on the assumption "he did it" now find me the evidence to sentence him. Instead of investigating and ruling out all possible alternatives. Sure it could have been done, but left out of this video. But going back to the "trial" i still feel like it was done bad over all, and the students should have gone a bit further in their questions to the experts. And no one brings up the other stuff, even the jury in the video have a talking point "he said to the police he found her on the floor, if she had hanged he should have found her haning by the rope". Well not if some else one cut the rope and later mutilated her and stuffed her into the box. This case with the lack of information in the video, is far from "he did it", and come across with a huge tunnel vision of "he did it". And when we talk about jack the ripper", It more plausible that Francis Tumblety was "jack the ripper" than this guy. Any way a good and interesting video even though i having more questions of how the people in it can be so sure he murdered his wife. =)

I have my doubts of him being Jack the Ripper...trying to hide the body was different...but then again, Jack likely never murdered someone that was in direct association with him either. I'm curious if there was ever a toxicology report in Bury's murder...it wouldn't be outside the possibility that he made her unable to fight back with all sorts of chemicals or poisons, thus invalidating the defense's primary case. It's definitely a case where you cannot reasonably that Bury for-sure killed his wife. Incredibly interesting video!

@William-bn9ok 21 день назад

There'd be no need for toxicology. What isn't mentioned is that in the end Bury wrote a letter confessing that he killed his wife by strangulation. If you consider how Bury cut open his wife's privates and backside, as detailed in the official medical reports, it's the same as the ripper: Ellen Bury: ‘On the inner side of the right labium was a wound 2 inches in length, penetrating the skin. Beginning about an inch behind the anus was an incised wound running forwards and to the left, into the perinaeum, and dividing the sphincter muscle'; Running downwards from the centre of the pubis to the outer side of the left labium was an incised wound 2 ½ inches in length, penetrating the skin and fat. Eddowes: ‘The incision went down the right side of the vagina and rectum for half an inch behind the rectum' Eddowes had a stab to her groin; Bury stabbed each groin on Ellen once. He penetrated through her abdominal wall and created a rip with a jagged edge. There were numerous other cuts and stabs. Martha Tabram had a three inch cut to her privates. Bury was clealry the ripper

Thanks for the good & enthralling show.More of such shows,pls.My guess:He was guilty.Another interesting explanation=He took the heat for The Ripper because he was a fan of The Ripper but the explanation has “holes”.

David Cohen aka Nathan Kaminsky was Jack the Ripper (David Cohen was used as ‘John Doe’ in Victorian England)

@danielwebster5748 9 дней назад

Yes murder was quite common back then especially unsolved murder. Unless they basically caught you in the act or you had a strong eyewitness you couldn't be convicted of a crime. That was even if I'm not mistaken before fingerprints. The only thing that said Jack the ripper report the one thing that made his murders still remembered today while the other unsolved murders are not remembered, is Jack the ripper mutilated. Also he took body parts away something the average killer did not do. Jack the ripper was a thrill killer while the average murder in London at the time was probably profit motivated.

A lot of people believe H.H. Holmes was Jack the Ripper.

@lad4702 23 дня назад

Because they dont read up on HOW he "became a suspect" 🤦‍♂️😂😂😂 .... a living family member wrote it in a book yearrrrrrrs after he died (as a way to make money), he was never a suspect by police? 0 proof he was in england at the time? Plus his crimes and the rippers had total different M.O's 🤦‍♂️😂😂😂😂

@DoctorBastard 23 дня назад

Holmes was an organised killer, whoever the ripper was wasn't. All the evidence points to him being a disorganised opportunistic killer who lived locally.

@adam_p99 21 день назад

The opening statement in this video is incorrect. Or at least, unknown so speculative at best. “In 1889….” The murders happened in 1888, so there’s nothing to suggest that JtR was still in the area during the following year. The number one suspect at the time was chased to America.

@claredyson9936 13 дней назад

I don't think I have ever heard this one. Nothing was ever mentioned about the fact his mother was incarcerated in a mental hospital. Im sure that would be brought up in a modern trial in case of mental illness. Another point that could connect to jtr is the saw dust trade. He would have seen butchers at work all time on his deliveries and their techniques.

@seraphinaaizen6278 19 дней назад

The defense managed to distill this down to single point: the ligature marks having an upward slope or note. But that isn't all the evidence you had. You haven't got a body an inconclusive ligature mark. You've got a body stuffed in a box, that's been mutilated, and has a plethora of injuries over and above that one point. Why is this woman, who allegedly hung herself, stuffed in a box with multiple wounds? Because she was murdered, that's why. The defense managed to burn this down to a single point of contention, and the prosecution did a terrible job letting them get away with it. But no, he wasn't Jack the Ripper. He was just an abusive spouse who murdered his wife. As abusive spouses often do.

@@kevinb9830 Yeah I know the streets well. Was there only just earlier this year (I live just 20 miles to the southwest). You can literally see one JTR tour group ahead of you and another tour group behind you..... with probably another tour group behind that. Yikes!!! They are like buses. One after the other.
