The August 2012 edition of the 'The Journal of the Whitechapel Society' carries an article by Thomas Toughill which reveals that Basil Thomson, a life long friend of Ruggles Brise, attended New College, Oxford at the same time as Montague John Druitt, the man named as the prime suspect in the Jack the Ripper case by Chief Constable Melville Macnaghten in a report for the Home Office in 1894. The significance of this is that Basil Thomson succeeded Melville Macnaghten as Head of CID at Scotland Yard in 1913. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Erdbeben (talk • contribs) 16:18, 31 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
