Jack the Ripper, murderer of at least five women, all prostitutes, in or near the Whitechapel district of London’s East End between August and November 1888. The case is one of the most famous unsolved mysteries of English crime. The name "Jack the Ripper" originated in a letter written by someone claiming to be the murderer that was widely disseminated in the media. Jack the Ripper used to cut throats of his victims prior to abdominal mutilations. The removal of internal organs from at least three of the victims led to proposals that Jack possessed surgical knowledge. Jack the Ripper murdered 5 women naming Mary Ann, Nichols, Annie Chapman, Elizabeth Stride, Catherine Eddowes and Mary Jane Kelly, they are called the canonical five.
Nichols was not missing any organs, Chapman's uterus was taken, Eddowes had her uterus and a kidney removed and her face mutilated and Kelly's body was eviscerated and her face hacked away, though only her heart was missing from the crime scene.
Other than these 11 murders are linked with Jack the Ripper.
The surviving police files on the these murders shed some light on this case. A large team of policemen conducted house-to-house enquiries throughout Whitechapel. Forensic material was collected and examined. Suspects were identified, traced and either examined more closely or eliminated from the enquiry. More than 2,000 people were interviewed, "upwards of 300" people were investigated, and 80 people were detained.
Though Jack the Ripper was never caught there are many conspiracies related to the identity of Jack the Ripper.
According to some theories Walter Sickert a renowned painter of that time was a curious candidate for these murders, and mainly falls to the fact that Sickert had made sketches and paintings of the Ripper crimes that were quite accurate.
According to a theory given by then police officer Inspector Abberline Jack wasn’t ‘Jack’ at all, but in fact, a woman, Jill the Ripper !!
According to an another theory Prince Albert Victor, Duke of Clarence and Avondale the grandson of Queen Victoria was the Jack the Ripper. He went mad when he discovered he had syphilis and hence went on a killing spree. Killings stopped at the same time when he went to a mental institution.
Well we will never know the true identity of the this mad serial killer.
