Jack The Ripper
Was Kosminski Jack The Ripper?
Kosminski was a man not unknown by the police of White Chapel. Aaron Kosminski was born in 1865 and died in 1919. So, if he was Jack The Ripper, why did he stop killing in 1888?
Jack The Ripper Part 6
Aaron Kosminski
Kosminski was identified by one of the witnesses in a police line up, but the witness refused to stand behind his identification. Given what we now know about eye witnesses -- was Kosminski Jack the Ripper? The eye witness statement was the only evidence against Kosminski -- if you don't count a trouble past. Kosminski was put under watch by the police and later committed to an insanasylum. Aaron Kosminski lived there until his death in 1919.
After Kosminski Was Accused As Jack The Ripper
Shortly after the murder of Mary Jane Kelly, police stop patrols and their uncover efforts. Many believe this was because Kosminski had been identified in a police line up. However, Kosminski was never charged or tried as Jack the Ripper. The police always said, they didn't have enough evidence to charged Kominski.
Today's profilers have reviewed the evidence collected during the Jack the Ripper murdering spree and say -- Kosminski fits the profile. Was Kominski Jack the Ripper?
Although, Kosminski jumped to the top of the Jack the Ripper list, with so many men being accused as Jack the Ripper will we ever be sure? The East End of London is still hunted by the murders of Jack the Ripper and will continue to be until the question is answered -- Who Was Jack The Ripper?

I'm not sure I understand that there was a reduction of extra manpower in the police force after the Kelly murder unless one is referring to the City of London Police ( as opposed to "Metropolitan Police" which covered all except the square mile in the center of the city). According to the book "jack the Ripper, Scotland Yard investigates" (Donald Rumblow and Stewart Evans) there was no immediate reduction after the Kelly murder. the plainclothes numbers went as follows:
Sept. 1888, increased by 27.
Oct. 1888, increased to 89
Nov. 1888, increased to 143
Dec. 1888, maintained at 143
Jan. 1889, decreased to 102
Feb. 1889, decreased to 47
These figures represent plainclothes officers only but in Feb. 1889 there were still an additional 60 uniformed officers assigned to the Whitechapel district. Cathrine Eddowes was killed in the City of London. Is it concievable that the City of London police force reduced it's additional officers after the Kelly murder because the killer had gone back to the metropolitan district? To assign extra police you either have to pay more or take them from other areas, thus reducing their presence there. Maybe the commissionar just didn't think the additional police presence was justifiable after the Kelly murder. Rather foolish I'd agree considering how geographically close the murders were but money is money and spending it has to be justified.
