Biography
At some point, Aaron Kosminski had become a barber and settled in London. Having mental problems, he was institutionalized in Colney Hatch Asylum due to suffering from schizophrenia and expressing delusional tendencies.[1]
Legacy
At some point, a popular theory was established pointing at Kosminski as a Jack the Ripper suspect.
In 2013 when asked by his wife Marlize DeVoe who was Jack the Ripper, Clifford DeVoe (who at the time gained meta-human power of accelerated thinking) mentioned the Kosminski theory, but also shared his own that it was Kosminski's nurse, Catharine Jewell.[1]
