===Discovery=== 1 Sep 1888, The Morning Post: *"This latest crime was discovered yesterday morning at a quarter-past four, when Police-constable J. Neil, who was pacing his beat, saw, in Buck's row, Thomas-street, Whitechapel, a woman lying on the pavement close to the door of a stable yard leading to Essex Wharf. Buck's row is a narrow and badly lit passage containing about a dozen houses of a very low class. Neil at once perceived that the woman had been the victim of a brutal murder, for her face was stained with blood and her throat was cut from ear to ear. The constable called up the nearest residents, who stated that they had heard no sound of a scuffle - that in fact the neighborhood had been unusually quiet, and sent for Dr. Llewellyn, who lives in the Whitechapel-road, close by." * "Finding that life was extinct, although as the extremities were still warm, the woman could not have been long dead, the doctor had the body removed to the mortuary in Whitechapel-road. There, on examination, it was discovered that in addition to the gash in her throat, which had nearly severed the head from the body, the lower part of her body had been ripped up, the opening extending nearly to the breast. On either side were two incised wounds almost as severe as the centre one. The instrument with which the wounds were inflicted must have been not only of the sharpness of a razor, but used with considerable force."
