It seems that it is not. So much for accusing Walter Sickert, a famous artist.
Anyone have any information?
Cornwell’s position is given no credence by most people who have studied the crime.
There are over 200 named suspects some of whom are far more credible than others. Sickett really isn’t among the likely ones in my view.
I think it was more likely somebody rather unimportant and unremarkable - one of the rather boring suspects who were just madmen living in the squalor of the East End, who did nothing else in their life of any note, except kill some prostitutes. But those aren’t the exciting stories.
