London has over 8 million people, Salisbury has 40 000. In other words, London has bit over 200 times the number of people.
Separating what was possibly relevant to a potential Salisbury serial killer, from what would make a useful statistical comparison, we'll just use the bodies in Salisbury public places other than :
16 March 2018: 'The body of a young man was found in Salisbury today. The man's body was found hanging from a tree on a footpath near the river Avon between Devizes Road and Stratford-sub-Castle.'
http://www.salisburyjournal.co.uk/news/ ... ref=twtrec14 February 2017: The body of a man has been found in a #Salisbury car park. It was discovered in the Lush House toilets at Queen Elizabeth Gardens.
https://www.spirefm.co.uk/news/local-ne ... y-toilets/13 July 2017: Body found in Salisbury. The body of a woman has been discovered in a field in Bemerton Heath. Police were called to the area near Sarum Academy just before 3pm yesterday. ( 13th July)
https://www.spirefm.co.uk/news/local-ne ... salisbury/15 April 2016: A WOMAN has been arrested over the death of a man whose body was discovered in a wood. Brendan Hughes, 37, was found dead at Hare Warren near Salisbury Racecourse on April 4, having last been seen the previous morning.
A 44-year-old Salisbury woman has been arrested on suspicion of assisting with a suicide.
http://www.salisburyjournal.co.uk/news/ ... ref=twtrec21 October 2016: A STUDENT found dead in Salisbury on Wednesday had complained of being bullied about her gender identity. The body of Gabriel Tinto, aged 51, was found near Five Rivers Leisure Centre in Hulse Road at around 7.15am.
http://www.salisburyjournal.co.uk/news/ ... ref=twtrec23 Jan 2016 Police have issued a warning about a dangerous batch of drugs after a 36-year-old was found dead in a car park. Emergency crews were called to Culver Street in Salisbury on Friday evening after there were reports a woman had collapsed.
https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/201 ... are_btn_tw22 Sep 2017: A BODY has been found in a field in Chilmark. The Journal understands the man's body was found by a woman riding a horse in a field off Cow Drove near Chilmark at 2pm on Thursday afternoon
http://www.salisburyjournal.co.uk/news/ ... ref=twtrecFor statistical strictness, we'll omit Chilmark (10 miles away) and the alleged drugs as slightly over 2 years.
Thats 5 bodies in strictly Salisbury public places within 2 years.
Multiply by 200 for London for comparison.
Its as if 1000 people had been found dead in public in London within 2 years.
