This is a letter that I received from John Humble (front and back)
Compare Humble’s handwriting with the letter sent by the Ripper (below)to George Oldfield and you be the judge that they were not written by the same hand.
The Ripper’s letter sent in March 1979
This was the evidence that the police could not put before a jury because nobody would think they were written by the same writer.
If Humble had not written to me, his writing would not be in the public domain and available for comparison.
It also shows why a deal was done with no trial and a promise of two years in jail if he cooperated. If he didn’t cooperate then they would have charged him with attempted murder of his brother and tagged the hoaxer allegations to the case. That would have attracted a much longer sentence for the vulnerable alcoholic John Humble and he caved in and confessed as they wished. Humble knew that the police were able to stitch up a criminal with fabricated DNA evidence and he knew that he stood no chance of clearing his name because of the massive publicity that they engaged in after his arrest. As it happened he went to court and the judge sentenced him to eight years rather than the two years promised by the police. Humble had no way back and his appeal was rejected. But the West Yorkshire police had solved the hoaxer riddle despite thirty years of failure to do it.
That stitch up was designed to close the hoaxer loophole in the Ripper case against Sutcliffe who was only a copycat killer and had been promised no trial and ten years in the mental home in return for his confessions to all the Ripper’s murders as well as his own four murders. He had also been responsible for all the assaults associated with the Ripper case.
