Dan's going to play us back into part two. Thanks Dan.

So here we are back to do the next part, which is the suspects, the theories, the

fun, exciting part where we all get to basically have a big old chat about it and about what

we think. Jeffrey's going to tell us what he thinks first, obviously, because that's how this works.

On the contrary, absolutely not. Cass has helpfully taken Betsy and looking after her for us.

I think the important thing to remember is that the Metropolitan Police Service did an extraordinary job.

They interviewed literally thousands of people.

They identified 300 suspects and they detained 80 people, but never had any evidence to convict anyone of the Whitechapel murders.

The Whitechapel murders remain one of the great unsolved mysteries

of English criminal law.

The most famous of the original suspects was a Dorset-born barrister called Montague John

Druitt, who died in almost immediately after the last murder, the Mary Kelly murder.

He was an assistant schoolmaster in Blackheath

who was dismissed

shortly after Mary Kelly's killing.

Now, it's been suggested that he was dismissed

because he was gay

and that he'd been propositioning the pupils.

It's also been suggested that he had, which he did, to be fair,

a history of mental illness in the family, both his mother and father.

In 1895 in Sir Melville McNaughton's report quotes on the killings, he suggested that Druitt was responsible.
