Event Details

In the early hours of September 30, 1888, the body of Elizabeth Stride was found in Dutfield's Yard off Berner Street.

This was the first of the "Double Event" murders. Unlike other victims, Stride had not been mutilated, suggesting the killer may have been interrupted by the arrival of Louis Diemschutz, who discovered the body at 1:00 AM.
