Jack the Ripper Suspect – Frederick Bailey Deeming

Deeming murdered his first wife and four children in Rainhill near St. Helens, Lancashire, in 1891.

His crimes went undiscovered and later that year he emigrated to Australia with his second wife, whom he then also murdered. Her body was found buried under their house, and the subsequent investigation led to the discovery of the other bodies in England.

He was arrested, sent to trial, and found guilty. He boasted in jail that he was Jack the Ripper, but he was either imprisoned, or in South Africa, at the time of the Ripper murders.

Deeming was executed by hanging in Melbourne on Monday 23rd May 1892.

The police did not consider Deeming as a Jack the Ripper suspect.

Conclusion: Frederick Bailey Deeming was not Jack the Ripper.
