Jack The Ripper 


Jack the Ripper was an extremely cruel serial killer, the world's most famous of all time. Jack the Ripper itself is the nickname for the most famous serial killer who acted in the poor areas around the city of Whitechappel, London, around 1888.

The nickname Jack the Ripper comes from a letter written by someone claiming to be the killer, which was then spread by local media. The letter is widely believed to be a hoax, with many even assuming it was written by a journalist.

Many agree, the journalist is trying to increase public interest in this mystery case. Other Jack the Ripper nicknames given to the killer at the time were "Whitechappel Killer" and "apron leather"

Motive for Murder


The victims of the murders carried out by the RIpper were generally women who worked as commercial sex workers or prostitutes. The prostitutes who were murdered came from slum areas, usually the Ripper cut the victim's throat, then mutilated the victim's stomach.

It is possible that Jack the Ripper carried out torture when mutilating his victims, which resulted in his victims experiencing many times more pain. After his victims were mutilated, Jack the Ripper harvested their organs.

Local residents and local detectives assumed that the perpetrator had knowledge of anatomy and surgery. At the time Jack the Ripper launched his murderous spree, there were at least 11 murder cases in the near future, but the strongest evidence for Ripper victims was only 5.
 
Rumors circulating say that this murder was connected to September & October 1888. In fact, several letters sent by someone claiming to be the mastermind behind the murder sent half a preserved human kidney.

The techniques used by Jack the Ripper were brutal and professional. The public is increasingly convinced that this case is a single serial murder case committed by the Ripper.

The local media also spread news about this mystery, as a result the Ripper succeeded in gaining international fame. Another murder investigation was known as the Whitechappel murder until 1891.

The legend of Jack the Ripper is also believed by local residents, because until now the murder case has not been revealed who the real perpetrator was, until now the legend is getting stronger.

Jack the Ripper Murder Case


The large number of attacks on women in the East End that occurred in this era adds to the uncertainty of how many victims were killed by the same perpetrator.

11 separate murders beginning on 3 April 1888, were included in the investigation of the London Metropolitan Police Service and are collectively known as the "Whitechappel Murders". 

There are various opinions regarding this murder; "I don't know if they were related to each other, but 5 of the 11 Whitechappel murder victims, known as the "canonical 5", are believed to have been the work of the Ripper.

Most of the victims had similar injuries to their throats, mutilated stomachs and genitals, internal organs removed and faces mutilated. All of this is believed to be Jack the Ripper's typical modus operandi

7 location of Jack The Ripper murder / Wikipedia


The first location in the Whitechapel murders, with victims named Emma Elizabeth Smith and Martha Tabram (these two victims are not included in the canonical 5). Emma was robbed and sexually assaulted in Osborn Street, Whitechappel, on 3 April 1888. A blunt object was inserted into her genitals, rupturing her pertioneum. He suffered from peritonitis and died the next day in a London hospital.

Before she died, Emma testified that she was attacked by 2 or 3 men, one of whom was a teenager. Later this murder was linked to subsequent murders by local media.

Then Martha Tabram was murdered on 7 August 1888, she suffered 39 stab wounds, the savagery of the murder, the unclear motive, the proximity of the location of the previous murder in George Yard, Whitechappel, as well as attempts to predict the Ripper's next murder, increasingly led local police to link the two cases the.

However, this murder is different from the canonical murder; "Martha died because she was stabbed multiple times, not because she was mutilated in her throat and stomach."

Most experts today do not link Martha's murder to subsequent murders because of differences in wound patterns.


5 canonical victims 


1. Mary Ann Nichols

Mary Ann Nichols, known as Polly Nichols, was the first canonical victim of the unknown serial killer known as Jack the Ripper, who is believed to have murdered and mutilated at least five women in and around London's Whitechapel district from late August to early August. November 1888

Annie's body was discovered at around 06:00 AM on Saturday 8 September 1888. Annie was found near the gate to the back yard of a house, at 29 Handbury Street, Spitalfields.

3. Elizabeth Stride

Elizabeth "Long Liz" Stride is believed to have been the third victim of the unidentified serial killer known as Jack the Ripper, who killed and mutilated at least five women in the Whitechapel and Spitalfields districts of London from late August to early November 1888.

Dr Phillips testified that the cause of death had been "undoubtedly the loss of blood from the left carotid artery and the division of the windpipe." He firmly believed Stride had been "seized by the shoulders and placed on the ground, and that [her] murderer was [kneeling to] her right side" when he had inflicted the wound to her throat.

4. Catherine Eddowes

Catherine Eddowes was the fourth of five canonical victims of the notorious serial killer known as Jack the Ripper, who is believed to have murdered and mutilated at least five women in the Whitechapel and Spitalfields districts of London from late August to early November 1888.

On the left cheek there were two abrasions of the epithelium under the left ear. The cause of death was hemorrhage from the left common carotid artery. The death was immediate and the mutilations were inflicted after death. There wouldn't be much blood on the murderer.

5. Mary Jane Kelly

Mary Jane Kelly, also known as Marie Jeanette Kelly, Fair Emma, Ginger, Dark Mary and Black Mary, is widely believed by scholars to have been the final victim of the notorious unidentified serial killer.

In contrast to the Ripper's other four canonical victims, each was murdered outdoors and the mutilation could have been carried out in a matter of minutes. 

Kelly was murdered in the sparsely furnished single room he rented at 13 Miller's Court, so his killer had plenty of time to do it by disemboweling him and mutilating his body.

Kelly's body was the most mutilated of any of the canonical victims, with her killer's mutilation taking approximately two hours to carry out.

Jack the Ripper's letters


19 days after Jack the Ripper killed Annie Chapman (the second canonical victim), an unknown person sent a letter to the police via the post office, the letter was addressed to the police and the sender left the name "A letter from hell"

Second page of "Dear Boss" letter / casebook.org


--------------------------------------------------------

The letter is as follows;

Dear Boss,
I keep on hearing the police have caught me but they wont fix me just yet. I have laughed when they look so clever and talk about being on the right track. That joke about Leather Apron gave me real fits. I am down on whores and I shant quit ripping them till I do get buckled. Grand work the last job was. I gave the lady no time to squeal. How can they catch me now. I love my work and want to start again. You will soon hear of me with my funny little games. I saved some of the proper red stuff in a ginger beer bottle over the last job to write with but it went thick like glue and I cant use it. Red ink is fit enough I hope ha. ha. The next job I do I shall clip the ladys ears off and send to the police officers just for jolly wouldn't you. Keep this letter back till I do a bit more work, then give it out straight. My knife's so nice and sharp I want to get to work right away if I get a chance. Good Luck.

Yours truly
Jack the Ripper

Dont mind me giving the trade name

PS Wasnt good enough to post this before I got all the red ink off my hands curse it No luck yet. They say I'm a doctor now. ha ha

--------------------------------------------------------

Received on September 25th, 1888 at the Central News Agency, this letter was originally believed to be just another hoax. Three days later, the double murder of Stride and Eddowes made them reconsider, especially once they learned a portion of the latter's earlobe was found cut off from the body, eerily reminiscent of a promise made within the letter. 

The police deemed the "Dear Boss" letter important enough to reproduce in newspapers and postbills of the time, hoping someone would recognize the handwriting.

A postcard received at the Central News Agency on October 1st, making direct reference to both the murders and the "Dear Boss" letter, is believed to have been written by the same hand. It is reproduced below. Whether or not the letter is a hoax, it is the first written reference which uses the name "Jack the Ripper" in reference to the Whitechapel murderer.

The Ripper's victims continued until the next victim, the Ripper, sent a Post Card to the police.

--------------------------------------------------------

The post card says;

Jack the Ripper

--------------------------------------------------------

Until now the police have not been able to find out who the real perpetrator is, in fact the police have interviewed more than 8,000 people, named more than 300 suspects and detained 95 other people. London police also admitted that they would never catch this elusive serial killer. 

Most historians have described 8 suspects, the mastermind behind the Jack the Ripper serial murders. However, these 8 suspects have not yet been proven to be the real Jack the Ripper. Until now, the serial murder case committed by Jack the Ripper has not been solved and his name has become a legend.

Jack the Ripper Conspiracy Theory

  • Many people conspired that Jack the Ripper was a Syndicate (many people were murdered under the nickname Jack the Ripper).
  • There is also a conspiracy that the Ripper was the grandson of the Queen of England who suffered from syphilis and wanted ordinary people to suffer too.
  • There are also those who conspired that the Ripper had a girlfriend who wanted to become a prostitute, but he didn't want his girlfriend to become a prostitute by killing existing prostitutes, in order to scare his girlfriend.

But all of that is just a conspiracy theory from society.
