The Suspects

Prince Albert Victor

More Prince Albert

• Eddy was born in 1864 to Prince Albert Edward and
  Princess Alexandra.
• By most reports, Eddy was a "slow" child and grew
  up to be a rather dull adult.
• According to Stowell, Eddy was suffering from
  syphilis, contracted during a shore party in the
  West Indies, and that this infection drove Eddy
  insane and compelled him to commit the murders.
• His family agrees.

11
Montague John Druitt
12
More Montague

• A graduate of Winchester College and an avid
  sportsman.
• Considered by many to be the number one suspect
  in the case. Interestingly enough, there is very
  little evidence with which to implicate his
  guilt.
• He committed Suicide
• Why kill himself??
• Two prominent possibilities arise -- first, the
  aforementioned implications of his homosexuality.
  Still, only conjecture, but perhaps his vice was
  discovered and he couldn't bear the
  embarrassment?

  Penitentiary at Joliet.
• He was released on good behavior in 1891
• He bragged about knowing more about the case then
  anyone this is his only connection to the

• Although, he was in jail during the murders so he
  could not have committed them if you ask me

• He was directly involved with Mary Jane Kelly
• The evidence against him makes the most sense
