The Grisly Thames Torso Murders - A Killer WORSE than Jack the Ripper? Or was it him?!
Macabre London - A podcast by Macabre London Podcast
Categories:
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.
