A shocking new update has been revealed in the infamous cold case of Jack the Ripper after police discovered the killer's face while searching through old archives. Amongst dozens of artefacts, the face was found engraved into the handle of a wooden walking stick which belonged to the officer who devoted years of his life trying to catch the serial killer.
Scotland Yard detective Frederick Abberline was removed from the case in 1889 after failing to stop the notorious Jack the Ripper who butchered at least five women in Whitechapel over a century ago. The chilling image engraved into the handle is the only reported facial composite of the Ripper whose identity remains a mystery to this day, the Mirror reports.
The cane had been stored for years at the Police College in Bramshill, Hampshire and there were fears it had gone missing when the institution was shut in 2015. However, it was recently relocated by staff at the College of Policing's HQ in Ryton, West Midlands who were searching through memorabilia.
