Abberline began his police career in Whitechapel , and was in 1873 , transferred to Stepney for a long period, then to Westminster and finally to Scotland Yard in 1887 . Following the murder of Mary Ann Nichols , Abberline was transferred to Whitechapel due to his extensive experience in the area. There he was placed in charge of the various detectives investigating the Ripper crimes. Abberline at one time suspected Severin Antoniovich Klosowski (George Chapman), as being the Ripper. Upon his death, Abberline was buried in the same town, Bournemouth, as Montague Druitt , a teacher who had been named as a suspect in the Ripper murders. As of 2005 , there is a movement by some Ripperologists to raise money to erect a headstone for the grave of him and his wife. Abberline is buried in Wilmborne Road Cemetery while Montague Druitt is buried at Wimborne Minster Cemetery, although there are some other Druitt family graves at Wimborne Road. A fictionalized Abberline was featured as a central figure in Alan Moore and Eddie Campbell 's '' From Hell ''. That character was portrayed in the film adaption of that work by Johnny Depp . Abberline was played by Michael Caine in a 1988 television film. Both portrayals quite substantially changed details of his life and the Ripper case for dramatic purposes. EXTERNAL LINKS
