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 mutilationBlog here - https://www.murdermiletours.com/blog/murder-mile-uk-true-crime-podcast-278-in-the-rippers-shadowMurder 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.
