    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.
    Agreed, L C. Mac didn't seem to have investigated his "41 year old doctor" very thoroughly!

      Could you tell me what Swanson and Anderson get wrong about Kosminski?

      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.

        Technically I am half Yam yam from over your way. All my Mom's family came from Brierley hill!
        Best wishes,

          It’s been a while since someone’s called me a Yam Yam Tristan.

            What on earth is a Yam Yam, Herlock / Tristan?

            I've never heard that before.

              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?!

                  I think that the implication of the statement is that he was in an asylum from that time on, and we know that there were times after that when he was not confined.

                    Or, he had been in the asylum before, and was pulled out briefly and immediately returned.

                      Good evening Herlock, well, here goes:
                      1. Born in England but living in Germany.
                      2. My mum has always had a keen interest in the case, and it brushed off onto me.
                      3. 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.
                      4. I would like to think the C5, but to be honest I haven't delved into the likely victims after MJK.
                      5. I don't know, I like to read people's ideas on here; I do honestly believe somebody has named JtR.
                      6. What was the reason for the level of mutilations, especially MJK.
                      7. Tough one, Lechmere I guess as he most of missed JtR buy minutes.
                      8. To be honest, it's always changing with what I read on here.
                      9. Not really.
                      10. I believe he has been named, but not all the t's have been crossed for the complete answer.
                      11. Jack the Ripper: The facts by Mr Begg.
                      12. I'm not sure...Lechmere, maybe.
                      ​Regards,

                      Jim

                        I've never heard that before.
                        Its a play on the Black Country accent Ms D. “You are,” becomes “yo am,” which becomes “y’am,” My dad had a broad Black Country accent and my grandad’s was even broader. I once took a girlfriend to meet my Nan and grandad when I was 17/18. She was from Slough. She could understand my Nan (she was Scottish) but she could barely understand my Grandad. So if my Grandad had said “you’re going to the shop,” it would have come out as “yam gooin’ to the shap.” That’s why we sometimes get called yam yams by Brummies.

                            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.
