William Beadle
Jack the Ripper Unmasked
John Blake Publishing ( 2009)
The highly respected crime historian and Chairman of The Whitechapel Society builds a compelling case for identifying horsemeat butcher, William Bury, as Jack the Ripper. Bury came to live in Whitechapel in 1887, a year before the killings of five prostitutes. The murder and mutilation of his own wife, a former prostitute, bore many of the hallmarks of the Ripper’s modus operandi.
