Homework for Monday 1st: être capable de parler de la victime sur laquelle vous avez trouvé des informations.

Hi there!

Today, we did an oral recap about what you know about Whitechapel district and then we tried to answer this question:

Why was this case difficult for the police?

1. The victims had no family so nobody called the police.
2. The crimes happened in the street at night so people couldn’t see. There was no witness!
3. The streets were dirty, there was no sanitation and there was a lot of smoke so there was no evidence, no clues.
4. The victims were all female prostitutes so they were not strong, they were vulnerable and nobody cared.  
5. They were drunk so they couldn’t defend themselves.
6. The neighbourhood was over crowded so if they called for help and screamed, nobody heard them!
