Dear Forum
I am working on a one act play based on the Whitechapel murders. I do not want it to be typical London fogs, tall man with a gladstone bag etc etc and all that nonsense.
The theatrical premise (you have to allow me that licence) is - James Munro interviews a man sometime in 1900 in the City of London Asylum. This man may or may not be the murderer. Obviously this meeting never happened but Monro is most interesting as a dramatic representation of the Investigation.
I believe whoever committed the crimes was ordinary but with an extraordinary negative mental state. Colney Hatch and the Asylum in Stone do hold possibilities.
When you have the time perhaps you could write me some pointers as to who this person most likely would have been in your opinions from the EVIDENCE presented and also what to avoid. I am very happy to receive emails/pointers from your readers or they can find me on:

I am very interested in the possible medical experience of the killer. I have some medical training myself in the operating theatres a few years ago. Reading the autopsy reports I notice some abdominal cuts surgically curving around the navel. This is somewhat significant surgically. Also it seems a long blade was used perhaps akin the Tiemann knife or the like. However I disagree with the accusations against Gull and Williams who by all purposes seem decent human beings.
The FromHell letter is quite interesting (I use it as a dramatic cue also ref for the title) whether from the killer or no it certainly seems the only letter that might actually be.
As for the Suspect:
Although I have read much positive evidence regarding Kosminski -- I found the information most interesting on a man called Jacob Levy. Would you agree?
I look forward to reading your thoughts...
Thank You also to Administration Donston1888 for your kindness.
Sincerely
AIDAN
