[Mr. Poster]

He was sent to Lambeth Infirmary in 1891 suffering delusions thought to have been caused by syphilis. But he immediately escaped and stabbed one woman then attempted to stab a second.

He was pronounced insane and committed to Broadmoor in 1891 where he remained until his death in 1903. From the day he was detained, the Ripper attacks ceased.

Thats a bit odd....its like saying "from the day Charles Manson was imprisoned, the Ripper attacks ceased". Ergo...manson was a Ripper suspect?
