The Suspects section has this to say about Pedachenko.
Born: 1857?.

Died: 1908?.

First suspected: 1928, William LeQueux in Things I Know. Later Donald McCormick, Identity of Jack the Ripper

However, the article below from the Pall mall Gazette of 28 November 1888 sounds like it has quite a bit in common with him

This story refers to Nicholas Vassily (or Wassili or Vassilyoff depending on which paper you read). Of course, it is possible the Pedachenko story began from the same source.

Hi Chris,

There are similar posts on this topic by Alex Chisholm back in 2003. They are under the thread Winberg 1891
