Hi Doc,
I'll answer that one. I find it puzzling that in the 2 best known cases of policemen naming a suspect - Anderson/Swanson and Macnaughten - they get so many things wrong about their leading suspect.
The only thing that could be raised is that of the died soon after, HOWEVER, that can only be applied at all IF Kosminski is Aaron.. and that is by no means certain.
(And even if it is, that may be explained by confusion over his transfer to Leavesden, but that's an entirely different issue)
On Mac, yes it is very odd how the memorandum is full of so many mistakes on Druitt, and on Ostrog.
I would again mention, that there are no known mistakes with the person he calls Kosminski. Again oddly unlike Druitt and Ostrog, he gives no additional identifiers such as Initials or first name to this person.

True, I was assuming that they were referring to Aaron Kosminski, which might be assuming too much. That might be the only thing we know for sure that they got wrong about him. I was thinking that they got the time of his confinement to a lunatic asylum wrong too, but actually it was Macnaughten who got that wrong, again, if Aaron was the Kosminski that they were referring to.
Why should Macnaghten be wrong about that either?!
How do we know that Aaron didn't go to a private Asylum in March 1889?!

Good evening Herlock, well, here goes:- Born in England but living in Germany.
- My mum has always had a keen interest in the case, and it brushed off onto me.
- I can't remember the first book, but in line with Q2 answer, I stayed up and watched a documentary in 1988. At the age of 9 it made me have a nightmare, but it was the first nightmare I wasn't scared from, only fascinated.
- I would like to think the C5, but to be honest I haven't delved into the likely victims after MJK.
- I don't know, I like to read people's ideas on here; I do honestly believe somebody has named JtR.
- What was the reason for the level of mutilations, especially MJK.
- Tough one, Lechmere I guess as he most of missed JtR buy minutes.
- To be honest, it's always changing with what I read on here.
- Not really.
- I believe he has been named, but not all the t's have been crossed for the complete answer.
- Jack the Ripper: The facts by Mr Begg.
- I'm not sure...Lechmere, maybe.

Originally posted by Herlock Sholmes View Post[*]Of the named suspects which, if any, do you think are the likeliest?
My hunch is that the murderer may have been mentioned in inquest testimonies and the like but isn't generally considered to be a suspect.
Originally posted by Herlock Sholmes View Post[*]This has been asked on another thread but….if you could be given the answer to one particular aspect of the case (not who did it) what would you choose?
Originally posted by Herlock Sholmes View Post[*]If you had the opportunity to question one of the witnesses in the case who would you choose?
Originally posted by Herlock Sholmes View Post[*]Is there any important aspect of the case that you’ve changed your mind about of the years?
Originally posted by Herlock Sholmes View Post[*]Do you have any pet hates about the case or how we look at it?
Originally posted by Herlock Sholmes View Post[*]How likely/unlikely do you think it is that the case will ever be solved?
Originally posted by Herlock Sholmes View Post[*]Is there anyone in the case that you feel might be worth closer investigation as a possible suspect?
