    #278 - In the Ripper's Shadow (Soho, London, UK)

    Across October and early November 1888, when 'Jack the Ripper' slayed several women in the East End of London, a smaller and largely forgotten sexual sadist was attacking women in Soho in the West End. Masked using a series of baffling distractions, his crimes were made possible owing to the fevered frenzy in the midst of a mini media mania committed in the Ripper's shadow. But who was he, was it a hoax, or did he even exist? For those fascinated by Jack the Ripper, here's an interesting side story about a crazed sadist who committed a shocking crime spree in West London, just three miles from Whitechapel, and possibly used Jack the Ripper's crimes to cover his own. Date: Friday 5th of October 1888 to Sunday 4th of November 1888.Location: several across Soho/Fitzrovia/Bloomsbury.Victims: 7 (Eliza Smyth, ‘Swiss Annie’, Jayne Jones, Emma Jewson, Alice or Anna Dedmun, ‘Minnie’ Jones and Eliza Shad)Culprits: ?Method of death: strangulation and mutilation Blog here - https://www.murdermiletours.com/blog/murder-mile-uk-true-crime-podcast-278-in-the-rippers-shadow Murder Mile is researched, written and performed by Michael of Murder Mile UK True Crime Podcast with the main musical themes written and performed by Erik Stein and Jon Boux of Cult With No Name and additional music, as used under the Creative Commons License 4.0.
