Jack the Ripper
Walter Sickert
Walter Richard Sickert was a German-born painter of British and Danish ancestry, who was mentioned as a possible Jack the Ripper suspect by several authors. There are no proofs or any evidence that would point at Sickert, but some facts could lead to interesting conclusions. For example Sickert did use different locations in Whitechapel for his work, he was rather eccentric, writers suggest that since he was a skilled artists he could have make the Jack the Ripper letters to be written in different style. Also some of his works are rather dark and could be interpreted as linked to the murders. Nevertheless Sickert is a far fetch suspect.
Can you solve a mystery like this one?

I don't know where did you get the idea that in Polish word "żyd" is pronounces anything like "juwet", it isn't - the first letter (ż) is pronounced like the last syllable of the word "prestige"

Has anyone ever considered that he was a calculating man and changed his MO because the victims in his later killings could have been traced back to him more easily, which is how he was caught, and that he slashed the Whitechapel victims because he could get away with it. His personality and past behaviors toward his wife (and other women) would suggest that he was very capable of committing the crimes done by Jack the Ripper. It is also to my understanding that he had monetary motives with the later victims, so he had to make the deaths look natural for those purposes in addition to making sure the murders couldn't be traced back to him if the looked like natural illnesses. Also, let's say for arguments sake that the Goulston street graffiti was actually written by the Ripper. The message itself is largely indecipherable to anyone other than the killer. But, the most credible reports indicated that Jews was spelled "Juwes". This is interesting because if you listen to how the word Jews is pronounced by a person saying the word for Jews in Polish, you will see that it could be that the writing on the wall was just a poor English transliteration from the Polish word for Jews. In Polish the word for Jew is "zyd", but it's pronounced similar to "juwet" with the W having the V sound. They probably had the guy, just a classic case of not enough evidence.
