Briton David Bullock established that the serial killer of the late 19th century, Jack the Ripper, was a certain Thomas Cuthbush, whose grave is located in London's Noonhead Cemetery. Information about this, according to the Daily Star, is contained in Bullock's book The Man Who Would Be Jack (The Man Who Could Be Jack).
It indicates that Cutbush fits the description of Jack the Ripper in many ways. So, in 1888 he worked in the London area of Whitechapel, when the attacks of Jack the Ripper took place there, he hated prostitutes, was fond of anatomy and surgery, and in 1891 he was arrested for attacks on two women.
Bullock studied documents at Broadmoor Psychiatric Hospital, where Cutbush died. He was able to establish that Cutbush was buried in the Nunhead cemetery. His family also rests there.
The nickname Jack the Ripper was taken from a letter that reached the London news agency on behalf of the killer. He is credited with at least five murders committed between 1888 and 1891 in the Whitechapel borough of London. Local prostitutes became victims of the serial killer. The London police failed to establish the real name of the maniac, and his crimes remained unsolved.
