For those of us in the UK, there will be an hour long documentary tonight at 9pm on Channel 5, presented by our very own Trevor Marriott.
The identity of the person who killed five women in London's East End in 1888 has puzzled criminologists for more than 125 years. In this documentary, former Bedfordshire murder squad detective Trevor Marriott is joined by a criminal psychologist, a forensic scientist and a pathologist to reinvestigate the case using cutting-edge technology. The team re-examines the victims' injuries in a 3D autopsy and come up with startling results that could overturn decades of consensus, while Marriott casts his net wider and finds evidence of similar murders in Europe and America that occurred after the killings ceased in Whitechapel and the trail leads him to a man executed in New York's Sing Sing prison in 1896.
