Has the true identity of Jack the Ripper been revealed? Victorian diary proven genuine contains huge clue
by Martin Evans, Crime Correspondent

It remains one of the most enduring mysteries in British criminal history with a long list of potential suspects.

But the true identity of Jack the Ripper may have finally been confirmed, after researchers said they had proven the authenticity of a much disputed Victorian diary.

Twenty five years ago 'Ripperologists' around the world were stunned by the discovery of a previously unknown memoir, claiming to have been written by Liverpool cotton merchant, James Maybrick.

In the 9,000 word volume, Maybrick confessed to the brutal murders of five women in the East End of London, as well as one prostitute in Manchester.

He signed off the diary: "I give my name that all know of me, so history do tell, what love can do to a gentleman born. Yours Truly, Jack The Ripper."

But within months of the book hitting the shelves, Ripper experts, who subjected it to careful analysis, began to question its authenticity.

The diary had first come to public attention via a former Liverpool scrap metal dealer named Mike Barrett, who claimed he had obtained it through a family friend, Tony Devereux.

Unfortunately Mr Devereux died shortly afterwards, and so the diary's true provenance was never fully explained, cementing the view among many that it was simply a sophisticated forgery.

But researchers - led primarily by Bruce Robinson, the writer and director of the film classic, Withnail & I - who have spent years poring over the story, believe they have finally unearthed compelling evidence that proves the diary is genuine.

According to a new book on the saga, the contentious memoir was actually discovered in Maybrick's former Liverpool home - putting him firmly back in the frame as history's most notorious serial killer.
