MONTAGUE JOHN DRUITT, 149, HELD IN BRITAIN PROSTITUTE KILLINGS, WAS ALSO CHIEF SUSPECT IN JACK THE RIPPER MURDERS
IPSWICH, England - Police hunting a suspected serial killer following the murders of five prostitutes in eastern England arrested Montague John Druitt, believed to be 149, on Monday and cordoned off a group of houses, Detective Chief Superintendent Stewart Gull said in a brief statement to reporters. Druitt is believed to be the world's oldest living human, Gull said. Druitt was also the chief suspect in the infamous but unresolved Jack the Ripper murders in 1888. It was formerly believed that Druitt committed suicide in November 1888. "Obviously he did not commit suicide," Gull explained, "because we've determined this is him. And he's up to his old tricks."
