True Crime
Join me for the penultimate episode of this mini-series where we’ll examine the death of the final canonical victim, in a bloodbath so unimaginable that it has become one of the most memorable Ripper murders, symbolic of his spiralling descent closer and closer to hell. We’ll look at Mary Jane Kelly’s life and try to understand the strange testimony of the witnesses as we encounter a visitor dressed in astrakhan, a man with a sinister black bag bothering women in the area, a missing key and more.***Don’t forget to rate and review on your favourite Podcatcher***No part of this episode may be reproduced or copied in any form without the written permission of Prash’s Murder Map.Thanks for listening!
