Did you know that Jack the Ripper was left-handed? It is one of the few hard facts we have relating to the killer who stalked Whitechapel in 1888 , determined from the wounds inflicted on his victims. A lack of facts has not stopped amateur and professional sleuths alike claiming they have solved the riddle of his identity: to date there are more than 100 candidates for the post including the future Edward VII ’s son Prince Albert Victor; Lewis Carroll ; Walter Sickert ; and Doctor Thomas Cream.
