Martha Tabram
Martha Tabram was brutally murdered in the early hours of 7th August 1888.
Her mutilated body was found on the first floor landing of George Yard Buildings by John Saunders Reeves as he left for work.
PC Thomas Barrett 226H was summoned by John Reeves, who in turn sent for a doctor. Dr Timothy Robert Killeen arrived to investigate the body.
As there wasn't a public mortuary in Whitechapel the police sent Martha's body to the 'deadhouse' belonging to the workhouse infirmary in Old Montague Street.
