The Bank Holiday Murders: A New Perspective on the First Whitechapel Murders In 1888, the streets of London's East End were gripped by terror as a series of gruesome murders took place. While the infamous Jack the Ripper killings are well-documented, the earlier murders of Emma Smith and Martha Tabram, both on bank holidays, have been largely overlooked. In this groundbreaking book, Tom Wescott sets out to uncover the truth behind these early killings, placing them in their historical context and shedding new light on the case. Through meticulous research and analysis of original police reports and press accounts, Wescott reveals surprising connections between the murders, including evidence that the same killer may have been responsible for both. He also exposes the failures of the original investigators and the ways in which key witnesses were dismissed. This is a compelling and thought-provoking book that challenges readers to re-examine the events of 1888.
