Jack the Ripper was not a serial sexual killer but an occultist called Robert Donston Stephenson who terrorised London's East End while indulging in a sadistic form of Satanic worship.
According to a new book that claims to prove conclusively the identity of the mass murderer, the Ripper's true motive was to kill four prostitutes as the occult decreed and, in so doing, profane the Christian cross.
Public fascination with Jack the Ripper has barely faltered since the first murder, on 31 August 1888, when 45-year-old Mary Ann Nichols was murdered and mutilated at a spot patrolled every 30 minutes by policemen
Patricia Cornwell, one of the world's most successful crime novelists, is working on a BBC Omnibus documentary that will conclude the killer was artist Walter Sickert. Her belief is based on his obsession with the subject - his depiction of what was believed to be the last murder led to speculation that he was the Ripper.
But in Jack the Ripper's Black Magic Rituals, author Ivor Edwards claims that despite being repeatedly overlooked by Ripperologists, Stephenson, alias Roslyn D'Onston, was the killer.
