Jacob Isenschmid, or Joseph Isenschmid (as mentioned in some sources),[1] baptized by some newspapers of his time with the pseudonym "The Crazy Butcher"[citation needed], was a Swiss butcher who ended up being imprisoned for life in a British psychiatric hospital[which?] since September 1888. He was one of the contemporary suspects for the identity of the unidentified serial killer known as Jack the Ripper. Eventually, Scotland Yard ruled him out as a suspect, because, while he was imprisoned, other crimes attributed to the killer occurred.
