Secret Files on Jack the Ripper Will Not Be Released to the Public

Secret Files on Jack the Ripper Will Not Be Released to the Public: "SECRET files which name four new Jack the Ripper suspects will not be released to the public.

Retired murder detective Trevor Marriott has fought to have a 900-page dossier on the 1888 Whitechapel �murders released.

But a tribunal last week ruled they must be kept �hidden. Scotland Yard said living �relatives of the �suspects could be �attacked.

It added that releasing the papers which name “grasses” would jeopardise the �recruitment of �modern-day informants.

Yesterday Mr Marriott, who is writing a book about the Ripper, who was never caught, said: “To censor the documents is absurd.

“They could help solve the mystery after all this time.”"
