I took the Freddie Mercury comparison route when I posted the item last year two years ago*. ;o)

Oh yes, I heard about that. Supposedly, the bodies were left outside the mortuaries and someone came by and nicked a kidney.

Although Patricia Cornwell's theory has been well and truly pooed all over, I did find her mentions of other uncannily similar murders before/after the famous ones very interesting. The little boy in the stable - have you heard about him?

Jack the Ripper was a Mexican bandito?!!

I don't think the police could accuse him of being 'frighteningly normal' with ears like that.

I'd say the spikes sticking out of his neck were a pretty good indicator of serial killer potential...

Bahahaha!!

Well, I suppose several of the Whitechapel locals could have used a stay or two at the YMCA!

You can get yourself clean, you can have a good meal, you can eviscerate a few of the local dollymops...
