Jack the Ripper’s Murder Mystery

Murder mystery of Jack the Ripper has revolved around the past 125 years on the streets of East London. This crime mystery has been exposed by a former murder squad detective.

Seemingly, a bad news for millions of amateur investigators; who have spent more than a century investigating for the identity of this pseudo serial killer.

Facts have revealed that it was merely a cheap journalism stunt carried out by a drunken journalist, named Thomas Bulling. In 1888, he forged these letters to Scotland Yard, portraying to be “Jack” in a desperate attempt to report a story. He was paid to provide stories for a newspaper.

Since then, hundreds of books and movies along with TV programs have depicted this story of a serial killer, a Ripper who killed 5 women by slashing their throats, and terrorizing the streets of White chapel.

All the facts of this particular case have been distorted over the years, misleading the public in America and Germany. During 1863 and 1894, a dozen of unsolved murders were committed in a ripper-style, but by a German merchant known as Carl Feigenbaum. He was believed to be responsible for some, but not all of those killings.

This is a classic case of authentication of evidences, and a good study for young detectives and forensics personnel.
