I don't know if this applied to all the victims but the earlier ones were described in the papers as attractive, well-dressed mulattos. My presumption is that the writers were white men. They also referred to the last victim as a "comely yellow girl". The "yellow", I believe, is another term of the time for "mulatto".

The women weren't raped but the focus of the mutilation was thought to be sexual.
