Parking Since other clues or bits of evidence are rare as hen’s teeth in the Whitechapel Murder skein, the possibility that a written message would finally occur after 5 possible murders by the Ripper before another tangible clue was found then or in subsequent years is far-fetched. They were not so keen to erase what they saw as an important clue in their investigation and the two forces clashed over what should be done about the graffito. Even while Metropolitan police investigated the crime scene on Berner street, constables from the City Police were called to the horrifying display in Mitre Square. Detective Constables Daniel Halse and Edward Marriott led canvassing of the area for clues and suspects. Bloody discovery on Goulston Street

Daniel Halse suggested a compromise whereby only the top line, - "The Juwes are" - would be erased. Metropolitan Board of Works plan of the Artisans Dwellings Improvement Scheme for Goulston Street, Whitechapel, November 1876 On closer inspection, he discovered that it was covered with blood and faeces, and noticed other marks which suggested that the blade of a knife had been wiped on it. Donald Swanson described the writing as being "upon the wall of a common stairs", also claiming that it was blurred [5].

That’s the key to graffiti… the positioning’. Ah, the philosophy of Banksy! For those who may not know, Banksy is an artist. A graffiti artist. A graffiti artist whose work has been shown in exhibitions. Everyone (well, those of you who live in the Bristol and London areas certainly) has seen a Banksy, most without realising it - yet very few have seen the man himself. This is mainly because writing graffiti is illegal. He ghosts in, does his work and ghosts out again. Unnoticed until his deed is detected. Sounds familiar?
