An answer to unsolved murder mysteries?

WHO was Jack the Ripper? Did the US police get the right man for the murder of civil rights campaigner Martin Luther King?

Limassol-based Bob Cracknell, Britain’s leading psychic detective, will examine these and other famous cases in a lecture, titled Clues to the Unknown , organised by the Mystery Club of Intercollege next week. Cracknell will delve into several unsolved high profile murder cases. He has helped the British police in solving a number of unsolved mysteries — including helping in the investigation of the Yorkshire Ripper murders — and has worked closely with the FBI. He is currently working on several cases involving the CIA.

At the lecture on Thursday, December 6, Cracknell will present two major mysteries, which remain unsolved. In the case of the infamous Jack The Ripper, he aims to demonstrate that even then, over 100 years ago, intrigue and political cover-up prevailed.

This will be followed by a presentation of four still unsolved murders of CIA personnel and, in the major case of the evening, that of the assassination of Dr Martin Luther King.

Bob Cracknell aims to show that not only was this a straightforward murder and that the wrong man was convicted, but to demonstrate that a deliberate attempt was made to cover up the truth. He plans to involve members of the audience in presenting their own ideas and conclusions.

The lecture is at the Bank of CyprusCultural Centre in Limassol (opposite Woolworth Apollon) at 7pm.

The Cyprus Mail is the only English-language daily newspaper published in Cyprus. It was established in 1945 and today, with its popular and widely-read website, the Cyprus Mail is among the most trusted news sites in Cyprus. The newspaper is not affiliated with any political parties and has always striven to maintain its independence. Over the past 70-plus years, the Cyprus Mail, with a small dedicated team, has covered momentous events in Cyprus’ modern history, chronicling the last gasps of British colonial rule, Cyprus’ truncated independence, the coup and Turkish invasion, and the decades of negotiations to stitch the divided island back together, plus a myriad of scandals, murders, and human interests stories that capture the island and its -people. Observers describe it as politically conservative.
