The Grisly Thames Torso Murders - A Killer WORSE than Jack the Ripper? Or was it him?!

from Macabre London

If I mention murder in London during the year of 1888, one name will probably spring to mind, Jack the Ripper, but that wasn’t the only serial killer active in London at the time.A short distance away, someone was using the lifeblood of the city, the river Thames, as a place to dispose of their victims.Washing up on the shore, bodies were found along its inlets, discarded, dismembered and defiled, left to the mercy of the tidal waters in the hopes they would be washed away and forgotten.However, the river didn’t hide the secrets of this killer, it spewed forth the evidence, allowing it to float along its surface to be discovered by hapless bystanders. But who were these victims and how did they end up being mercilessly discarded into the murky depths of the Thames?With each new body that surfaced, the mystery deepened, leaving the city's residents in fear as a swathe of Londoners had not one but two unidentified murderers prowling the streets, ready to pounce at any time.Today on Macabre London, we uncover the mystery of the Thames Torso Murders.------------------------A big thanks to Magic Mind for their help with todays episode, You can get 20% off a one time purchase or 48% off a subscription at magicmind.com/macabrelt and use the code MACABRELT20 for your fantastic discount. Podcast: https://podfollow.com/1180202350Be sure to check out my other podcast, Killers, Cults & Queens with Cheryl The Queen https://podfollow.com/queens---------------------------SUPPORT ME————————ONE OFF DONATIONS: Paypal - paypal.me/macabrelondonKO-FI: ko-fi.com/macabrelondonPATREON: www.patreon.com/macabrelondonAMAZON WISHLIST - http://amzn.eu/dJxEf1V​​​​​​MERCH! - https://macabrelondon-shop.fourthwall.comPATREON - www.patreon.com/macabrelondon——————————-Thank you to our executive producer patrons - Christina, Christophe, Lisa, M, Ravelle, Sally, Sam, Sarah, Terri, Teresa, Vee, VeronicaAnd to all of our wonderful £5 tier patrons...AmyAndreaAndrewClaire RClaire SCreepy PaperDavid RDeniseElizabethHelenIngeJoKathrynKellyLindalLizRachelShannonTalliThe Paranormal PrincessVeeZaraZozoLAMAnd thanks to all other patrons too!————————SOCIAL MEDIA---------------------------------------------Insta: @nikkimacabrelondonX: @macabrelondonTikTok: @macabrelondonFacebook: @macabrelondonEmail: [email protected]://www.reddit.com/r/UnresolvedMysteries/comments/cbmawe/the_rainham_torso_murders/https://www.britishnewspaperarchive.co.uk/viewer/bl/0002708/18881024/032/0004https://www.casebook.org/dissertations/thames-torso-murders.htmlhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thames_Torso_Murdershttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_the_Ripperhttps://open.spotify.com/episode/159Dl8gH2WZHOri8i6q77Uhttps://staffblogs.le.ac.uk/crimcorpse/2016/05/31/thames-torso-murders/https://www.wob.com/en-gb/books/m-j-trow/thames-torso-murders/9781399013451?gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAADZzAIB-vb7hc9Xs7kPgVWWXgUjpC&gclid=Cj0KCQjw8MG1BhCoARIsAHxSiQnMd3FUKBlM5tb2XE8Pc8-q7Tz9m4liPxF2CezgiHqV-blHKkanT4waAh6oEALw_wcB#NGR9781399013451 Hosted on Acast.

Dj Paulo Moreno Dj 🇬🇧 Sound selections born from a knowledge of cause could be a way to describe Paulo Moreno.Always connected to the music and entertainment industries, the artist had a late awakening to djing, but no less dazzling for that. It was in London that he embraced the DJ impetus and performed regularly in renowned clubs and events such as Fabric London, Fire, Área, Heaven, Club No65, Union, Egg, Coronet and the Summer Rites festival, but he didn't stop there. The following years witnessed Paulo traveling all over the world to delight all those who listen to him with his sets full of depth, versatility, and energy. Portugal brought him a residency at Kremlin nightclub who gave him international recognition, regularly playing alongside names like Dennis Ferrer, Steve Lawler, Mendo, Prok and Fitch, and Hobo, Alan Fitzpatrick, Anja Schneider, Dennis Cruz, Goncalo, Anna, just to name a few.🇵🇹 Seleções sonoras nascidas de um conhecimento de causa poderia ser uma forma de descrever Paulo Moreno.D CBS Radio Mystery Theater goldenclassics CBS Radio Mystery Theater (a.k.a. Radio Mystery Theater and Mystery Theater, sometimes abbreviated as CBSRMT) was a radio drama series created by Himan Brown that was broadcast on CBS Radio Network affiliates from 1974 to 1982, and later in the early 2000s was carried by the NPR satellite feed. The format was similar to that of classic old time radio shows like The Mysterious Traveler and The Whistler, in that the episodes were introduced by a host (E. G. Marshall) who provided pithy wisdom and commentary throughout. Unlike the hosts of those earlier programs, Marshall is fully mortal, merely someone whose heightened insight and erudition plunge the listener into the world of the macabre (in a manner similar to that of The Man in Black on yet another old time radio program, Suspense). As with Himan Browns prior Inner Sanctum Mysteries, each episode of CBS Radio Mystery Theater opened and closed with the ominous sound of a creaking crypt door, accompanied by Marshalls disturbing utteran Innovation Zero 2023 Innovation Zero Innovation Zero exists to accelerate meaningful action towards a low-carbon economy and society, and our mission is to build and connect a global network of innovators, funders, businesses and policymakers.Hear from the thought leaders and pioneers that took to the stage at Innovation Zero 2023 to deepen your knowledge in the transformation to a low-carbon economy.You can find recorded versions of these sessions here: https://www.innovationzero.com/content-centreWe will return to Olympia London, from April 30 to May 1, 2024.

K. Chesterton. This was the Fortnightly Poetry project for October 16, 2011.Chesterton was a large man, standing 6 feet 4 inches (1.93 m) and weighing around 21 stone (130 kg; 290 lb). His girth gave rise to a famous anecdote. During World War I a lady in London asked why he was not 'out at the Front'; he replied, 'If you go round to the side, you will see that I am.' On another occasion he remarked to his friend George Bernard Shaw: "To look at you, anyone would think a famine had struck England". Shaw retorted, "To look at you, anyone would think you have caused it". P. G. Wodehouse once described a very loud crash as "a sound like Chesterton falling onto a sheet of tin."( Summary from Wikipedia )
