without answer . without solution .



The identity of Jack the Ripper is probably the most famous unsolved crime in history. With the horror and the history surrounding events, it has become an increasingly popular topic in recent years with many new suspects being put forth. This list books, I made it from my point of view-the most interesting suspects.



1.   Montague John Druitt
·         Druitt was born in Wimborne Minster, Dorset, England, the son of a prominent local physician. He was educated at Winchester College and New College Oxford. He graduated from Oxford in 1880 and two years later was admitted to the Inner Temple and called to the bar in 1885. He practiced as a barrister and a special pleader until his death. His body was found floating in the River Thames off Thomeycroft’s torpedo works near Chiswick on 31 December 1888. Medical examination suggested that his body was kept at the bottom of the river for several weeks by stones placed in his pockets. The jury concluded that he committed suicide by drowning ‘whilst of unsound mind’. His disappearance and death shortly after the fifth and last canonical murder, took place on 9 November 1888, led some of the investigators years later to suggest he was the Ripper. Thus, explaining the end to the series of the murders.

2.   Sir William Withey Gull
·         Gull was physician-in-ordinary to Queen Victoria. He was named as the Ripper as part of the evolution of the royal conspiracy theory. It is just possible that Gull’s candidacy as a Ripper suspect is due to an odd item connected t his carrier. In April 1876 Gull was one of the physicians called to ‘The Priory’, the home of the barrister Charles Bravo when he was poisoned. Gull did what he could do, but he was hampered in not knowing the nature of the poison involved. Gull would testify at the massively covered coroner’s proceedings that summer, and insists it was suicide.

3.   Thomas Cutbush
·         In November 2008, a newspaper reported that files released from Broadmoor high security hospital indicate that Thomas Hayne Cutbush may have been responsible for the murders, which ceased from the time of his detention. Besides, Cutbush was sent to Lambeth Infirmary in 1891 suffering delusions thought to have been caused by syphilis. After stabbing one women and attempting to stab a second he was pronounced insane and committed to Broadmoor that same year, where he remained until his death in 1903.

Randomly, this is my own idea about this case. Whether it is true or not, I also don’t know. For sure, the information about all suspects, I picked randomly in internet and most of that I get it from Wikipedia.
