Whitechapel's Shocking History Revealed 1863 to 1892
News of the Times Episode 439 | 1863 &1892
Whitechapel – an area that historically seems to attract evil.
In today’s episode we start with the shocking surprise of an initial discovery of discarded bodies – many of them children – within the roof of White Chapel church. The horrific discovery is made when some workmen are called in to repair the ventilation system.
One year later, and 18 more bodies are revealed at another nearby church – some of the corpses being headless and mutilated.
From here, we jump to 1892 and all of Whitechapel, and the rest of London, hold their breath with the capture of a man who had looked to be attempting to cut up of an unfortunate.
This story which would usually be a small paragraph in the back papers reaches the national papers on the front page. Have the police finally actually caught Jack the ripper? Or is this a copycat – in some ways equally alarming.
Today’s further particulars story carries on the same Whitechapel theme with the description of a cruel prank. A man enters a pub, only to be greeted by two drunken men he does not know who claim to be undercover detectives and who insist that he is Jack the Ripper. The unfortunate oilman finds himself running for his life as shouts are called out into the street that he is Jack the ripper.
Stories related to the wickedness of Whitechapel is today’s episode.
Hosted by Robin Coles.
