Who Was Jack The Ripper?
10. Montague John Druitt
Montague John Druitt was an Englishman that came from a relatively well-off background. Druitt was Oxford educated and his employment record included working as an assistant schoolmaster and as a barrister. Druitt was living close to Whitechapel at the time of the murders and was often seen in the area. It is thought that Druitt had mental health problems and was “sexually insane.”

In November 1888, several weeks after the murder of the Ripper’s last official murder, he was found floating in the Thames River. It is suspected that he committed suicide, and that he took his life shortly after Mary Kelly’s death.
