Again we'll never know 100%, but if this story is above board, it seems pretty compelling and about the closest to a definite we are going to get. I have always thought it was Kosminski anyway.

Guy a few years ago got named as Bible John in the Sunday Mail by someone he went to school with
The basis of the accusation was that he wore military ties similar to Bible John. So did a lot of males as they were in fashion at the time ffs.  |

All unsolved serious crimes are committed by Tories. They have the contacts to quite literally get away with murder. The old school tie brigade. Prime examples being Jack The Ripper and more recently Lord Lucan.

No doubt a slew of books and films will now emerge to speculate on his personality and motivation. I have no wish to do so.
Followed by: Naming Jack The Ripper, by Russell Edwards, will be published by Sidgwick & Jackson on September 9, priced £16.99. |

The evidence links Kosminski to one crime scene only. We don't know that the shawl originally belonged to him. Semen found near a prostitute is hardly surprising. If this was today, I reckon a good lawyer would get him acquitted of murder.
He mentions the Michaelmas dates of 29th September and 8th November as being the nights of two murders (Catherine Eddowes and Mary Jane Kelly). I suppose it depends on how you look at it but Eddowes was killed in the early hours of the 30th September and Kelly just before dawn on the 9th November. It's generally agreed that the Ripper had some medical knowledge. There's nothing to suggest that Kosminski had medical knowledge. |

It was James Maybrick. HTH. Not really but your detailed reasoning could persuade me otherwise |

It was Malcolm McDowell and he escaped to the present day in
the HG Wells time machine. |

The Daily Mail photo of the author holding the shawl without gloves suggests the silly sod might have cross-contaminated the thing himself.

By:
but if this story is above board
Hmmm...a shawl that was supposedly left beside the body of a murder victim, in filthy conditions when it was p1ssing down with rain, and 126 years later appears to be remarkably clean despite never having been washed. I smell something fishy, and I'm not talking about the contents of Baldrick's apple crumble. |

I always thought it was Tumblety, but this proves it beyond reasonable doubt IMO.

He won't reveal the details of the relative who provided the DNA sample and this mysterious doctor invented this hoovering technique. I reckon this fella is the one trying to do the hoovering.

Cancel all CCDA leave.
Looking at those mugshots in the link I want the Duke of Clarence, Sir William Gull, Walter Sickert, John Pizer,(Shoemaker) George Chapman, (Barber) and Aaron Kosminski (Hairdresser) all brought in for questioning about any unsolved crime. A more guilty looking bunch of wrong'uns I have never seen.... nb search the barber and the hairdresser's gaffs for purple hair dye.  |

Channel 5 put up a very case for Charles Allen Lechmere as the Riper tonight
he was found by body of Polley Nichols..but it was all circumstantial Very difficult to deny evidence that places DNA of killer and victim on one rug Find this statement unlikely though But could the Ripper have brought the shawl with him and left it as an obscure clue about when he was planning to strike next? Only serial killers from fiction do that, he may have left it because he could not risk taking it away, seems better to me seems to clinch it, hard to deny DNA |
|
By:
just watched the documentary on ch5.
It does seem a strong case for it being lechmere. Was actually at one of the murder scences, and then lied about name etc. And his walk to work or his mums house took him past every murder. |
|
By:
but do serial killers just stp? and carry on a normal life.
The show didnt explain if him why would he just stop killing. |

New documentary tonight at 9 on Ch 5
