The Jack the Ripper Suspect Who Killed His Bride 17 Days After the Wedding

On a terraced street off the City Road, in the furniture parish of St Luke's, a young upholsterer named James Kelly married a quiet envelope folder named Sarah Brider in the summer of 1883. Seventeen days later, in the front room where he had courted her, something terrible happened, and within three days she was gone. He was convicted, spared the rope, and then he vanished for 39 years. In the gap he left behind, other men wrote his name into England's most notorious unsolved case. But who had he really been? A new forgotten British case every few days. Subscribe so the next one finds you.
