Description

Two infamous series of murders in Victorian London remain unsolved to this day. The Jack the Ripper and Thames Torso murders share striking similarities, with both occurring during the same period in the city's history.

Journalist Christer Holmgren presents a compelling case for Charles Lechmere as the perpetrator behind both series of murders. Lechmere was a man who claimed to have found Jack the Ripper's first victim, but avoided revealing his true identity to the police. Recent research suggests that he may also be responsible for the Thames Torso murder series, which spanned from 1873 to 1889.

Guided by expert analysis, Holmgren explores the connections between the two cases and sheds light on the underlying motivations behind these heinous crimes. A century after his death, Lechmere's involvement in the murders is finally being given serious consideration.
