Jack The Ripper
Who was Jack the Ripper?
A man dubbed Jack the Ripper (Leather Apron or the Whitechapel murderer) was a serial killer in the 1800's in Whitechapel, the East End of London, England. His main wtargets were vulnerable female prostitutes, and all we know as that he had atleast 5 vicitms. He first raped them but then he bruttally mutilated them and left the scene a mess. Many witness accounts were available to the FBI but they coThe murders started in 1888 and ended 2 years later in 1891. He was never properly identified. Many people also consider him to be the worlds first proper serial killer. Attacks ascribed to the Ripper typically involved female prostitutes from the slums whose throats were cut prior to abdominal mutilations. The removal of internal organs from at least three of the victims led to proposals that their killer possessed anatomical or surgical knowledge. Rumours that the murders were connected intensified in September and October 1888, and letters from a writer or writers purporting to be the murderer were received by media outlets andScotland Yard. The "From Hell" letter, received by George Lusk of the Whitechapel Vigilance Committee, included half of a preserved human kidney, supposedly from one of the victims. Mainly because of the extraordinarily brutal character of the murders, and because of media treatment of the events, the public came increasingly to believe in a single serial killer known as "Jack the Ripper".
