Marcella Claxton sustained severe head injuries as a result of hammer blows.
Detective Chief Inspector Bradley took control of this crime. The attack was regarded as an independent case of serious assault and was not linked with the murders of [http://crimehub.co.uk/index.php?title=Wilma_McCann_-_Yorkshire_Ripper_Victim Wilma McCann] and [http://crimehub.co.uk/index.php?title=Emily_Jackson_-_Yorkshire_Ripper_Victim Emily Jackson].
This attack was not included in “Special Notices” about the Ripper crimes issued to other forces and although some senior detectives thought that it might be part of the series it was not officially linked until Sutcliffe admitted it following his arrest.
Marcella Claxton had described her attacker as being about 30 years of age with black hair, a beard and a moustache.
