I don't know if this has been brought up before (couldn't find such a post when I searched) but there is an inconsistency in the Aaron Kosminski as suspect theory.

How can Israel Schwartz be the Jewish witness that identified Aaron Kosminski as one of the two suspects he saw with Liz Stride? Of the two suspects that Schwartz saw one threw Liz Stride to the ground and yelled out "Lipski". The second suspect began following Schwartz which would indicate he was probably in cohoots with the other man. So why would Aaron Kosminski or his partner have called out "Lipski" an obvious anti-semetic slur?? This would indicate that the two men were NOT JEWISH. Therefore Israel Schwartz could not have been the witness that identified Aaron Kosminski (or any other Jew for that matter) at the seaside home.
