One of the well known, serial killer who had not been executed for the gruesome killing of 5 of helpless women, Mary Ann Nicholas, Annie Chapman, Elizabeth Sride, Catherine Eddowes and Mary Jane Kelly.
Such chaos were caused due to the fact that "a" sole had killed another sole in a manner which was very inhumane that involves disembowelment and removal of organs. These occurred in the year, 1888, few streets of each other and were called "canonical five".
Looking back in the days where more than 10 suspects had been accused of this Jack the Ripper's action and also few had been rumored to be Jack the Ripper due to small talks, lack of thorough investigation and from the stories being created from one speculations to another. There were no precise indication saying that this Jack the Ripper had killed these women.What more, to figure the mens rea also known as intention, as to why these women had been brutally murdered.
The suspects who had also killed their victim, were also to be unfairly taking the not so fair share of the accusation being Jack the Ripper. Just because the act of killing similar to an act of a butcher. There was nothing wrong to actually speculate. But sometimes mere speculation more than the fact and evidence itself, may lead to a very serious issue and innocents may be sent to gallows for the act that he do not do.
It is rather a shame when, one Carl Feigenbaum, who were sentence to death of the murder of his wife, upon that the solicitor had disclose unethical fact that he could be Jack the Ripper. Of all the circumstances the solicitor had the guts to disclosed the private and confidential of client and solicitors information. Look at how this supposed to be professional lawyer, came up with stories after the client's death just because he admitted that he hated women and felt like killing and mutilate them. First of, did Carl Feigenbaum really did confess such thing towards his solicitor? Who would have known the truth? If it was discussed further during the trial and execution of Carl Feigenbaum during his lifetime in court, then it could be admitted. Therefore it is not a permission passed for his solicitor to disclosed rather disgrace information that is not even being verified to begin with.
"Hearsay is nothing more than mere words that had not been verified"
Too many stories had been created just so it could fix to this one particular Jack the Ripper. Serial killers, had its on modus operandi or it is famous to be none as Similar Facts Evidence. Of which this killer could have been act the same way through killing his victims. The act, the tools, the story lines and any other occasion which could collides to be indentical to one another.
These happened way back in 1888, which was 124 years ago. Compares to now, we have super technologies to identify DNA precisely and the law had enhanced since then. It would have been best of the evidence of Jack the Ripper to be transferred to these decades and do a comprehensive investigation and set a side the hearsays and reliable informations, who knows we could have found who Jack the Ripper is?
