A Woman Attacked In Spitalfields Market On The Day Of Annie Chapman's Murder.

In this video we head back to the morning of Saturday the 8th of September, 1888, the day of the murder of Annie Chapman.

As frenzied crowds began to arrive around the scene of the murder in Hanbury Street, word spread that to possible suspects had been arrested on Brick Lane.

Meanwhile, in Spitalfields market, a man carried out a brutal attack on a woman, and faced the wrath of a furious, baying mob who were convinced he was the Whitechapel murderer.

So this man, who was blind, was able to overpower those separating him from his victim, and get back to her and start stabbing again? It's all very odd!

There was an arm found at the Lambeth Blind School on the 29th of September 1888 and blindness might explain the killer's abilities to perform surgery in pitch black corners.

Love your channel watch it constantly . You may have done it but I can’t see it, but would love you to do something about spring heeled Jack

I should think every assault on a woman was now blamed on the ripper, muddying the waters even more .

There is film of the actor James Mason entering 29 Hanbury street from a film in 1967 called the London nobody knows, and it shows the backyard.

He doesn’t sound like he was too blind to me 🧐🧐

[garybarnett]

I’ve always thought that the attack on the unidentified Spitalfields market victim is reminiscent of the attack on Martha Tabram some weeks earlier.

And intriguingly, Martha’s pal ‘Pearly Poll would go on to marry a blind seller of laces who was described as a ‘vicious blind beggar’.

I wonder why Mrs. Fiddymont, wife of the proprietor of the Prince Albert public-house, wasn't taken more seriously ? I could see why she could be discounted if it were just her alone making the report, but there was another woman who was there to corroborate her story. Congratulations on 30K.. Richard. I watch most of the Channels with Ripper videos. I believe with all there inconsties, and limited overall knowledge of the facts I believe will naturally lead them to your channel . Just Remember, I was one of the first to join your greatness, Due to my epic magnificent superior intellect...
