Hi Ally.
Based on the hypothesis and thinking about who would fit the profile I decided to look at a specific group of individuals and found that one of them did indeed commit suicide shortly after the final murder.
However, when looking at birth records etc what I found was only 1 match for the person in question re births, and he died much later in a mental hospital.
I could not find a death record for the name of the person in 1888 even though it is the supposed official cause of death.
So either the person in question died and I can't find the death records, or they died much later than the supposed date they had died in 1888.
My gut feeling is that it's 2 different people, which I am looking into now.
It would be too good to be true to expect anything else.
