Michael Ostrog - Jack The Ripper Suspect

- In 1894, Melville Macnaghten compiled a list of three suspects who the police may have considered as viable suspects for the mantle of Jack the Ripper.
One of those suspects was Michael Ostrog of whom Macnaghten wrote that he was:- " "...a Russian doctor, and a convict who was subsequently detained in a lunatic asylum as a homicidal maniac. This man's antecedents were of the worst possible type, and his whereabouts at the time of the murders could never be ascertained."
But, who was Michael Ostrog?
In 2019, Richard Jones gave a talk to the East End conference in which he charted Ostrog's criminal career whilst, at the same time, weighing up his viability as a suspect.
This video features that talk along with accompanying images that help tell the story of a suspect who, according to one newspaper, was "a fashionable rogue."
It takes something to make a room full of Ripperologists laugh.
Richard is the best guide in London (or the world) ... and his intro to this presentation is hilarious. You MUST listen.
Wow, thanks!
This man is one of the best speakers I have ever heard. I really enjoyed this.
The audience died...Of laughter.
Thanks for the video👍🍻
Any time!
Loving all these videos Richard,keep them up you have an avid fan here and lots more.
Thanks 👍
When you said Click to add title when calling out the nicknames you had me laughing.
When I stayed in Middlesex St., there were several tours every hour that passed by.
I hope that guy coughing saw a doctor
"Richard Jones not a suspect" that's exactly what the real killer would say lol we're on you Mr Jones
Great video
It's a fair cop, you've got me banged to rights! Pleased you enjoyed the video.
Don't know if Richard will read this... But I'd love to know who he thinks the Ripper was out of all the suspects?!
To be honest, I am inclined to believe that none of the known suspects has a strong enough case against them. If I was asked to choose I would have to say either Cutbush or Kosminski.
@@JackTheRipperTours
From watching mainly yours, and a few other videos, this is why I'm 'nearly' sold on Kosminski.
- barbers had surgical experience
- jewish writing on wall
- identified by eyewitness (Schwarz) but as fellow jew failed to testify
- rough (but inaccurate) dna match from shawl
- killings stopped after asylum lock up
- identified as foriegn (jewish) appearence
However, I thought he was meant to be more 'scruffy looking' than the 'well-dressed man' witnesses say. So this brings me to question slightly. Though, if there is evidence of him being 'well-dressed', I'd love to know because it'd confirm my suspicions even more.
@@ThRealOJT Kozminski can't be Jack The Ripper he lived longer than the Kozminski that was named Aaron Kozminski died 1921 the Kozminski that was named as the most likely suspect died in 1889, Ostrog is a fair stab in the dark but as Richard has stated he has a good idea that he isn't JTR...
I always believed that JTR was cunning never forced the victims to follow him and that sadly the prostitutes led themselves into dark places where they wouldn't get caught, Charles Allen Lechmere aka Charles Allen Cross is JTR so many coincidences of living working and walking too and from work in the early hours in Whitechapel he walked past at least 6-8 crime scenes maybe and possibly more but also was born near the double event as his mother lived not far from where the Jewish note was found by police.. Lechmere worked for Pickfords had his own horse and cart carrying caresses of meats from Cows to Pigs meaning he already had blood on his clothing and would easily get away with it and fit into any normal life,
My Opinion is Charles Allen Lechmere aka Charles Allen Cross is Jack The Ripper
Richard is always brilliant, but the constant laughing throughout when he isnt even really making a joke is so jarring
I want one for Charles Allen (Cross) Lechmere. He’s your man...
He might well turn up soon!
Would jack just stop after Mary kelly an retire and grow to be an old man like lechemre did? Unlikely
Any proof lechmere was violent? No
Any proof he was ever in trouble with the police? No
Any proof lechemre had any mental health issues? No
Any proof lechmere was an expert in human organ removal an could perform such skill in the dark under 14 minutes like what happened with Catherine eddowes?
He isn’t a bad suspect he is suspicious but Jacob levy or kosminski even Francis Thompson are better suspects
Yawn..
Nah Jacob Levy is jack the ripper
@@danwelham He was standing over the victim,we can't say that about anyone else. Plus lots of serial killers lead double lives and have no other things wrong with them,look at BTK for example or even Bundy. Lechmere is easily the best suspect,by a country mile!
Thank you for the great audio!
Perhaps one on artist Walter Richard Sickert would be in order, given the attention he's received in regard to author Patricia Cornwell's suspicions!
Great suggestion!
Despite him being in France for a few of the murders……….
While telling his story would be fun - the whole JTR connection is beyond ludicrious and I doubt there is enough material to cover if you're not going to bash Cornwell.
@@volodymyrbilyk555 exactly.
She does a good job of convincing me he wrote the letters but not that he committed the murders
Brilliant,interesting funny,intelligent,thank you x
Glad you think so!
Clearly a complete rogue, serial con man and a scammer. Certainly not a serious Jack the ripper suspect. A well spoken and presented talk on this person though.
the great thing about your channel is you don't claim to know who the ripper is and you give all theories the same space and present the facts of the history
Why isn't there a movie about *this* guy?
Ostrog is definately NOT the Whitechapel murderer.😂
He sounds more like a late nineteenth century Del Trotter than he does JTR.
richard you were too young to be a suspect in 1888
A slip of a lad back then, William!
This is an excellent listen. He sounds like a character from a dickens novel. Maybe Mr Dickens thought so too.
The years given in the video for Michael Ostrog's birth are between 1831 and 1841. The most probable year would be 1833.
This one sounds like a very good stand up
I always wondered if we found out JTR wasn't native would in some way disappoint Brits?
He was a conman, basically
Not the right type of character he seems to only do petty crimes - he’s not Jack the Ripper
Most of the Leather Apron murder suspects are Jews or were eventually committed to an asylum or jail, or both. My observation is this...using current subjects like: Bundy, Ed Gein, Gary Ridgway, Dennis Ryder, John Gacy, etc. None of these guys were asylum material. That is to say none of them would have been considered insane by social standards so why do we use that as a criteria when assessing the identity of the killer. So many of the official suspects died or spent a significant amount of time in mental institutions. Many investigators see that as evidence of guilt. I believe the "Criminal Profile" that produced a belief that the suspect was linked to an asylum was well founded but incorrect.
Have you heard of Cutbush - Thomas Cutbush ?
No, but I’ve heard of Bond. James Bond.
And, aye, also Tommy Trimshrub.
@@feliscorax haha!
Ostrog was my grans niece
Michael Ostrog should have been employed to catch the Ripper…
I'm sure he turned up in an episode of Fawlty Towers
A scammer with no previous of violent behaviour, and was a prisoner in France at the time of the ripper murders, how is this guy even on the radar of being Jack the Ripper, I’d go for Charles Allen Lechmere formally Charles Cross. 😉
It's covered in the video, Alan.
@@JackTheRipperTours Great upload mate. 👍🏻
Are there any virulent swindlers known to also be mad killers? I'm not being rhetorical, I really don't know, but it does seem counter-intuitive.
If the most violence you can find is pulling a weapon when cornered, the pool of suspects would grow a great deal.
Con man killers: Charles Manson, John Edward Robinson...theres a ton!!
H.H. Holmes is another one
👍✌️🙏❤️
Thank you.
Saw this guy in sapporo hes a nicr guy
The comedy deflates my interest.
macnaghton was an old etonian, ex-british raj toff who never was a working detective. His writings should be ignored.
