BLACKHEATH MURDER

MALTREATMENT OF VICTIM

PATJHOLOGIST'S OPINION

LONDON", 25th, January. The examination made by Sir Bernard Spilsbury, Home Office Pathologist, reveals that the Blackheath "Eipper" murder was one of the most fiendish in the annals of crime. The victim was strangled with a narrow band which was pait of her dress, and maltreated in a shocking manner, not ,with a knife, but possibly with a broken bottle. A man's, teoth marks were on the body. Sir Bernard Spilsbury puts the time of the murder at a later hour than f was | thought by Scotland Yard, which nowj believes that the girl was attacked on I the heath where the body was found. I Pew people were about, as it was dark and raining fairly heavily. More than 50 special Scotland Yard men are engaged on the case.

A "Jack the Ripper" type of murder was discovered in London on Friday. The victim, a domestic servant named Louise Maud Stcele, aged 18 years, was found in a Blackheath area used as a football ground. The body was unclotKed, and mutilated as the "Bipper" mutilated his victims. In the woman's left hand was a tightly-clenched shoe. The other shoe was found fifteen yards away.
