Montague John Druitt (15 August 1857 – early December 1888) was a suspect in the Jack the Ripper murders that took place in London between August and November 1888.
Druitt was born in Wimborne Minster. He was the son of prominent local surgeon William Druitt. The Druitts lived at Westfield House, which was the largest house in the town and set in its own grounds with stables and servants' cottages. The house still stands in Wimborne Minster at the end of Westfield Close and is now subdivided into flats.
In November 1888, he lost his post at the school he taught at for reasons that remain unclear. One month later his body was found drowned in the River Thames. His death, which was found to be a suicide, roughly coincided with the end of the murders that were attributed to Jack the Ripper. (from Wikipedia)
