SECRET files which name four new Jack the Ripper suspects will not be released to the public.
Retired murder detective Trevor Marriott has fought to have a 900-page dossier on the 1888 Whitechapel murders released.
But a tribunal last week ruled they must be kept hidden. Scotland Yard said living relatives of the suspects could be attacked.

It added that releasing the papers which name grasses would jeopardise the recruitment of modern-day informants.
Yesterday Mr Marriott, who is writing a book about the Ripper, who was never caught, said: To censor the documents is absurd.
They could help solve the mystery after all this time.
Just like the JKF assassination, the Ripper has been beat to death. Nothing new will ever be learned.
However, “the public” has a “right to know” how many nukes we’ve got and where they are placed. Geeez!
Bush.
Jack the Ripper killed JFK. When will the truth come out?
Gee, so relevant to the current conversation ... thanks.
ROLFLMAO!
LIBTARDS: Bush went back in time with Dick Cheney aboard the Halliburton time machine...he also used a sidewinder to later shoot down the Hindenburg.
I’m a big believer in circumstantial evidence. The fact this long over crime is still being obfsucated tells me that someone high up was resposible.
Bingo
Oh good Lord! “Relatives will be attacked????”
Seriously?? About the only rioters left in the UK are football hooligans (aka Soccer Weenies)and ROP adherents. Everyone else minds their own business.
So unless Jack the Ripper was named “Mohammed ibn Pele de Maradona” there ain’t gonna be no stinkin’ riots
And even if he was a senior Royal (as is widely alleged) so freaking what? Its not as if the Royal Family has not had weirdos in the recent past
Heck one of their Kings had to step down just last century as he wanted to marry a (gasp!) American :)
It does not get more scandalous than marrying an American....
It’s “too soon” for the facts to come out. It might upset some people somewhere.
After all these years, you think something big will be given to us ... doubt it. Will probably be a rehash of what is already known; otherwise it would be public knowledge by now.
Probably responsible for the Maine, too. And let’s not talk about the Titanic.
Not so...........that one has been bandied about for well over a century and disputed.
The latest on the Ripper is that he was a Jew. Forget the relative angle............if true, this could become an anti-Semitic problem! And yes, England has had an often more sub rosa anti-Semite problem, than an open one, but there have been times, since Jews were allowed back into England, that it was rife.......even when the the Jews had converted to Christianity.
There are already suspects, and I don’t believe any of their relatives have been attacked?
If the person they eventually thought was the Ripper then they’d tell us, it they were some commoner. It’s obviously (strawman) someone who’s family was of import. It’s not any more simple than that. What you haven’t thought of is that the person they think did it isn’t on anyone’s list.
>And lets not talk about the Titanic.<
That was not Bush’s fault....it was Donald Rumsfeld’s diabolical plan.
