That Saturday afternoon, Coroner Baxter conducted the first inquest. Among other police officers, Insp. Abberline was present at that inquest. On that same busy Saturday, Robert Anderson took over the position of Assistant Commissioner, but it seems highly unlikely whether he would have been in the office, picked out, consulted with and delegated Abberline to attend the inquest – all on a Saturday morning. Does anyone have any idea how Abberline came to be at the inquest? (He had not been stationed in the field since 1887.) Thanks in advance!

Australia's Ned Kelly riddle fans a Ripper yarn

A skull long believed to be that of bushranger Ned Kelly may in fact be that of a man rumoured to be Jack the Ripper.

Forensic pathologist and Victorian Institute of Forensic Medicine deputy director Prof David Ranson is heading to Britain to ask relatives of hanged English killer Frederick Bailey Deeming to come forward and give their DNA.

"A simple swab from the mouth of any person from the female line of the Deeming family will help us answer this fascinating piece of folklore," said Prof Ranson,

Deeming was a 19th century wife-killer, bigamist, thief and conman who murdered women and children on opposite sides of the world.

After his execution in Melbourne in 1892 for murder, it was speculated he committed the Whitechapel Murders. His brothers and sisters distanced themselves by taking the name Bailey, their mother's maiden name.

The skull of Kelly, who was hanged for murder at Old Melbourne Gaol in November 1880, was stolen from a glass cabinet there.

Last year, West Australian farmer Tom Baxter handed in a skull, saying it was the stolen one and refusing to explain how he came by it.

Prof Ranson, on behalf of the Victoria coroner, is trying to determine whether the skull is Kelly's or Deeming's.

Scientists at the Victorian Institute of Forensic Medicine had the skull examined by experts and gave it a CT scan, but were none the wiser, despite forensic pathologists managing to obtain DNA from one of Kelly's descendants.

Their problem is that not only is the skull a close match to the death mask of Kelly, but it also resembles one of Deeming. Both plaster casts are held at the jail, which is where both men were executed and buried close by each other in the prison yard.

They were later dug up and moved to Pentridge, and moved again when it was redeveloped.

When Deeming was hanged, more than 12,000 people in the street outside cheered wildly.

He had committed crimes on three continents, using at least 20 aliases.

Three months after his execution newspapers including the New York Times published stories that Deeming had been seen in Whitechapel in London's East End in 1888 buying knives.

In prison, he told fellow inmates that he was Jack the Ripper, but he never confessed to authorities.

Prof Ranson said: "We are hoping to find one of Fred Deeming's relatives in Ireland, England or Scotland who will be willing to help."

A serious look at Ripperology

 CalgaryHerald.com

 
 
 Ah, nostalgia. Isn't Halloween just the time to look back in fondness at the not-so-distant past, when an entire city was plunged into abject terror by a single, deranged lunatic?

The dark, fateful 10-week period in 1888 London would become known as "the Autumn of Terror," historian and author Donald Rumbelow reminds us at the beginning of The Real Jack the Ripper. Jack the Ripper, the to-this-day unidentified serial killer who terrorized London's Whitechapel district -- an innocuous name for a neighbourhood variously described as "the most notorious criminal rookery in London" and "perhaps the foulest and most dangerous streets in the whole metropolis" -- has become the stuff of pop-cultural legend and the source of endless speculation. The Real Jack the Ripper, part ghost story, part historical documentary, strives to put a sober face on that speculation, separating fact from fiction.

Ripperologists, historian Paul Begg explains -- Ripper devotees have developed their own "ology" -- have produced a lot of solid information on a wide range of subjects, and not just Ripperology.

Begg himself is the author of Jack the Ripper: The Definitive History, and he's one of several historians in the program sitting at a table, knocking back stiff drinks and handling various cutting instruments from the time.

In one of the program's more poignant moments, Canadian Maureen Nichols, great-great-granddaughter of the woman believed to be the Ripper's first victim, Mary Ann Nichols, recalls being startled the first time she saw a vintage, black-and-white snapshot of the Ripper's first victim and recognized the family resemblance. She returns to London, on a pilgrimage of a kind, trailed by the filmmakers.

The Real Jack the Ripper is an eye-opening, if not always illuminating, look at one of history's great unexplained mysteries. (History Television -- 9 p.m.)

Movie reviews: From Hell

 
London in the 1880 was not a safe place. The street were full of working girls who were threatened by a ruthless man demanding payment from them on a weekly basis and when one of them is murdered the finger of suspicion is pointed at this man. The murder is a strange and brutal one so the expertise of Inspector Fred Abberline is called for.
 
Inspector Abberline has psychic abilities and he dreams of things which are going to happen or the details of things which have already happened which enables him to solve cases. He is called upon for this specific murder as it was so brutal and vital organs have been taken from the body. Abberline has to try and work out who would do this but when other working girls start to be murdered he has to find out who would have the knowledge and talent to be able to remove the organs in the precise way in which they have been taken.
 
Will Abberline be able to use his psychic abilities to solve the case of the now named murderer, Jack the Ripper or will London be destined to be run by this notorious murderer and is there a method to his killings?
 
I really did want to watch this film as it stars a favourite of mine, Johnny Depp but the storyline was not one which I though I would enjoy and I thought it would actually terrify me. I have to say I did manage to get through the whole of the film without having to look away or fast forward parts. I found the storyline and the way it was told to be excellent and very easy to follow.
 
Johnny Depp took the lead role of Inspector Abberline and he was excellent. He looked the part and I loved how he used his crazy eyes to show us when he was under the influence of drugs so he could get his visions. He really did make his role very believable and interesting. I liked how not much of his past was told to us at the beginning of the film as it made him seem very mysterious. He worked well with all the other actors and actresses in the film and he had a good partnership with Robbie Coultrane who played his Sergeant. Robbie was a surprise actor in this film for me but he too did a great job.
 
There are a lot of good supporting actors and actresses in this film and I have to say it was nice to see the British playing the majority of the roles. They were all good and there was also a very good mix of characters which gave the film some needed depth and variety.
 
The film was based in London back in the 1880's and I have to say all of the sets and scenery looked very good and well made. A lot of effort must have been put into making the costumes and props look so good and authentic for the year it was based on. The music was also a very big part of the film as it was what added to the drama and tensions of the murders and the storyline. I enjoyed all of the music in this film and thought that it was all very well composed.
 
The special effects throughout the film really were excellent. I have to say we did not get to see much of the murders which for me was great but when we got to see the bodies then they all looked very real and gruesome and a lot of effort must have been made with these. The other special effects were all very good and fitted well into the film.
 
For me I was put off as I though this film would be very brutal and gruesome and I will confess to being a big baby with scary and brutal films but I was comfortably able to watch this, we did not get to see the whole of each murder but we did see the shining of the blade which was used and the rest was left to the imagination which for me was excellent. I do say there are still a few scenes which are stomach turning when we see the bodies and when we do get a glimpse in the hospital where an operation is taking place but if I can manage to watch these then everyone else will as well.
 
The DVD which I have does contain some bonus features and these are:-
 
Audio Commentary by the Hughes Brothers
21 Deleted scenes with Optional commentary
Scene Access
Interactive Menus
 
I have not watched any of these so I am not able to give comment on them.
 
The running time of this film is 117 minutes and found this was a great length and the story moved at a good pace from start to finish and I was not loosing interest at any point. The certificate is an 18 and I do agree with this due to the subject matter and some of the scenes which we get. I paid just £3 for this in Tesco and I felt this was a complete bargain. I am defiantly going to recommend this film as it has an excellent cast list, excellent effects and a great story which will keep you guessing if you don't know who the real Ripper was.

British PhD Student Studied Jack the Ripper, Then Killed Like Him

British PhD Student Studied Jack the Ripper,
 Then Killed Like Him

http://gawker.com/

As a PhD criminology student, Stephen Griffiths studied 19th-century murders with a special focus on Jack the Ripper. Now he's been arrested for murdering three prostitutes in Yorkshire, England—one of whom he killed with a crossbow.

The arrest came after an apartment building caretaker reviewed the security footage from the night before and saw this, according to the Telegraph:
In a corridor of the flats, a man chased and grabbed a young woman before knocking her unconscious. The attacker then disappeared from view, only to return moments later with a crossbow which he used to fire a bolt into her head.
Police believe the video shows 40 year-old Stephen Griffiths killing 36 year-old Suzanne Blamires, one of his three victims. When they arrested him at his house, he led them to the dismembered bodies of the two others.

Judging from media accounts he certainly seems like someone who would be a serial killer. In addition to his obsession with historical murder—he told his neighbor he was getting "a Ph.D. in murder and Jack the Ripper"—he kept two giant monitor lizards in his apartment, where he lived alone.

A neighbor said he bred mice to feed the lizards and kept 100 of them in a trunk in his apartment, according to the Telegraph. On his MySpace he goes by "Ven Pariah" and says he "is the misanthrope who brought hate into heaven." And he apparently bought parts for his crossbow on Amazon.
