Jack the Ripper Revealed

When they're not working hard frightening us all into think we're going to die and shooting Brazilian commuters in the back of the head, the Met Police are busy investigating into crimes committed 118 years ago.







Today an e-fit was released depicting what Jack the Ripper may or may not have looked like. The man who evaded police in the 1880's and is thought to have murdered at least five prostitutes in the capital has even had his 118 year old address tracked down by our 'on the ball' police force.

Apparently, Jack the Ripper "was between the ages of 25 and 35, between 5ft 5ins and 5ft 7ins tall" although the Scotland Yard spokesman also added "at the time the police were probably searching for the wrong kind of man." Some things never change.

Anyway, I've figured out why the didn't catch Jack the Ripper way back then. Just look at the e-fit:


That face looks familiar doesn't it? Now quickly, who does that remind you of........?



I mean, any police force that was looking for Freddie Mercury way back in the 1880's was surely on a hiding to nothing from the beginning weren't they?

The cartoonist who did the picture at the top wasn't far off mind.
