* He looked like a foreigner
Albert Cadosch, a carpenter, lived next door to 29, Hanbury Street. At approximately 5.20am Albert Cadosch went into his back yard to use the outhouse. Reportedly Cadosch heard a voice from the other side of the fence say "No!". Cadosch went back inside, then reentered the yard three or four minutes later. This time he heard "a sort of fall against the fence". Unfortunately, Cadosch didn't look over the fence, but instead left for work. When he passed the clock at Spitalfields Church, it was 5.32am.
Just after 5.45am when John Davis, a resident of 29 Hanbury Street, entered the back yard and found a mutilated body. The woman was lying on her back with her clothes disarranged and her legs drawn up. There was blood everywhere.
The police were sent for. Inspector Joseph Chandler of H Division arrived at about 6.15am. Inspector Chandler sent for the divisional surgeon, Dr Bagster Phillips, who lived a few minutes away in Spital Square. After Dr. Phillips arrived, Chandler carefully examined the crime scene and searched the yard.
The body was then taken to the Whitechapel mortuary.
