For the sake of one of Vincent Van Gogh, as he has been accused of being the Whitechapel Murderer. I know this is not a very well accepted theory but to knock it out completely I wish to submit the proof against it.
There is a letter written to Vincent Van Gogh's brother, Theo, by Vincent Van Gogh himself, on September 8th 1888. This is the very date of Annie Chapman's murder in Whitechapel. Vincent clearly was in Arles, France.
In fact, he wrote again, another letter on Sept 9th, to Theo, from Arles, France, the next day, regarding one of his most famous paintings; Night Cafe, which he had just finished. This shows he was working on a painting in Arles around the date of the murder.
