Yorkshire Evening Post
|January 09, 2026
TV historian Lucy Worsley believes her team has uncovered the identity of a serial killer responsible for a series of unsolved murders of women in Victorian London nearly 140 years ago.
-
Dubbed the Thames Torso Murderer, the killer operated at the same time as Jack the Ripper, and his hallmark was dismembering his female victims and scattering their body parts in and around the River Thames.
The spate of killings took place between 1887 and 1889 and were never solved.
