A controversial memoir suspected of being the diary of Jack the Ripper has allegedly been confirmed to be real.
Discovered in 1992, the book was purportedly penned by a Liverpool cotton merchant named James Maybrick, who confessed in the diary to being Jack the Ripper.
Details surrounding how the book had been found were shrouded in secrecy, leading many to suspect that the diary was simply a clever forgery.
However a new book claims to have successfully traced the origins of the book back to Maybrick's home and, thus, strengthens the case that he was, indeed, Jack the Ripper.
