Event Details
On September 10, 1889, the headless and legless torso of an unidentified woman was found under a railway arch in Pinchin Street, Whitechapel.
This crime is often linked to the "Thames Torso Murders" rather than Jack the Ripper, but it contributed to the ongoing hysteria in the East End during the period.
