JACK THE RIPPER!

Jack The Ripper.


Back in 1888 in the Whitechapel district of London. There was a man who would kill a series of people and become known as "Jack The Ripper". How many people he killed for sure is unknown. The typical victims were prostitutes from slums. He would cut their throat open before the beginning of removing other body parts. At least three of his victims where cut open and he had removed some of their internal organs. This led to conclusions that he might be with surgical or anatomical knowledge. 

The police wan't sure if there was a serial killer at stake here and that the murders actually had connection to each other. But the rumor were widespread across England. The media blew up a storm about and in September and October of 88 the rumors of a serial killer intensified. The "From Hell" letter was recieved by a guy called George Lusk who was from the Whitechapel Vigilance Committe. The letter included a half preserved human kidney! It was highly likely to be from one of the victims. 

Many letters were recieved, a lot of them were probably fakes, some of them was probably even send from journalists so that they could make a story out of it. It is believed that some of the murders were fake also, some copycats of some sort. All we know is that there was a serial killer out there who killed a lot of people in the time between 1888 and 189, that he got known under the name of "Jack The Ripper" and.... that he was never cought.
