All 'suspects' were laughable. Tumblety had been arrested and had spent a spell in custody during the murder of Ripper victim Mary Kelly. Tumblety also had a fear of sharp objects (the main reason why he failed to become a doctor), and like Prince Albert, he had no medical knowledge, yet in the pitch dark, within minutes, the Ripper was capable of removing a notoriously hard-to-locate organ (kidney) from fourth victim Catherine Eddowes as a policeman was approaching on his beat. Sir William Gull was not only 72 years of age in 1888 and physically unfit (unlike the agile Jack) - Gull had also recently suffered a stroke. So much for the suspects.
