Dear Holmesians,
Â
Although the authenticity of the "Dear Boss" and "From Hell" letters being
actually written by Jack the Ripper is yet to be established, letters boasting
of criminal feats accomplished/planned made regular appearances in Victorian
England's papers and police stations. Even the "Zodiac" killer in the
last century had established his "persona" through letters to the local
newspaper.
Â
However, till date I have not read of any e-mail having direct link to any
murderous crime (except those committed by the terorists who reportedly
communicate using them, and who also send threatening e-mails as a challenge to
the establishment as well as to achieve other results, viz. causing mutual
antagonism in a pluralistic society resulting in rise of mob-mentality driven
by panic), unless causing your mailbox to crash with junk mails and/or making
all sort of vile comments constitute activities sufficiently malafide in intent.
Â
With best wishes,
Â
Riju Ganguly
