"Jack the Ripper" was Winston Churchill's Father

[Gareth]

Just wondering if anyone had heard of this theory?

Here is an article of the same title exploring this:

Interesting, I thought.

Like to hear your thoughts

p.s. As I am in the 'out-of-the-box' section, there is a guy called Chris Everard from Enigma TV that has some podcasts about this out there - I can provide links if anyone is interested.

Hi Gareth

Without demolishing practically every point of that story, I can assure you 99.9% of that is pure fiction

For example, the Abberline diaries were faked (badly faked - it had Abberline's initials as GF whereas they should have been FG), Annie Crook wasn't a Catholic, Churchill wasn't a Freemason etc etc

It makes a hell of a good story, but untrue I'm afraid

However, if you look for posts in regard to George "Topping" Hutchinson, you will find that he described Astrakhan man, the last person supposedly seen in the company of Mary Kelly, as someone like Randolph Churchill

Hi Gareth

The idea that Randolph Churchill might have been the Ripper has been kicking around as long as the case itself, supposedly because he was syphilitic. That he might have been the "ringleader" of a murderous gang set on covering up the supposed fathering of a child out of wedlock by Prince Eddy with an East End woman is a variation on the idea that Churchill acted alone. The recent revelation that the Special Branch files have the notation that Randolph Churchill was a supposed suspect shows that the allegations about him are as old as the case.
