Method of Operation

149233 — 2017-05-10 13:29:31 UTC

Jack worked with a quick and simple method of killing the victims.
They used to be prostitutes when they lifted their skirts, Jack hit behind with a staff. At other times he strangled or cut the garagantas. Then he mutilated them on his arms and legs and as some doctors think Jack had some anatomical knowledge, because he cut the viscera or the sexual organs with a quick and simple cut.

Jack the ripper letters

A intriguing aspect of the case is the number of letters that were sent to the authorities that either purported to come from the killer or else offered suggestions on how the perpetrator of the atrocities might be brought to justice. The most famous of all these letters, and the one that gave the murderer the name that has ensured the longevity of his legend, was the missive sent to the Central News Office in late September 1888.
This was the infamous Dear Boss Letter, that bore the chilling, though accurate, signature - Jack the Ripper. Press coverage of this letter led to a veritable avalanche of similar correspondence that resulted in the police investigation almost being brought to melt down.

The Victims

It is unclear just how many women the Ripper killed. It is generally accepted that he killed five, though some have written that he murdered only four while others say seven or more. The public, and even many junior police officers believed that the Ripper was responsible for nine slayings. The five that are generally accepted as the work of the Ripper are:

Mary Ann (Polly) Nichols, murdered Friday, August 31, 1888.

Annie Chapman, murdered Saturday, September 8, 1888.

Elizabeth Stride, murdered Sunday, September 30, 1888.

Catharine Eddowes, also murdered that same date.

Mary Jane (Marie Jeanette) Kelly, murdered Friday, November 9, 1888.

What he did?

A letter dated September 25 and received on the twenty-seventh by the Central News agency was the first to be signed "Jack the Ripper"One other letter may have been written by the killer. In mid-October a small parcel was sent to George Lusk, who was head of a vigilance committee in Whitechapel. Inside was half a human kidney and a letter from someone claiming to be the killer, and that it was part of the kidney he removed from the victim Eddowes. It is impossible to know for sure if the Ripper really did send it. Most of the arguments in favor of it being from Jack have been based on inaccurate information and the myths rather than the facts surrounding the case. However, Eddowes did suffer from Bright's disease and the description of the kidney does match what a Bright's disease kidney would look like.

Importance in history

Jack The Ripper remained popular for a lots of reasons. He wasn’t the first serial killer or the one who killed the most, but he was the first to appear in a large metropolis at a time when the general populace had become literate and the press was a force for social change. The Ripper also appeared when there were tremendous political turmoil and both the liberals and social reformers, as well as the Irish Home rule partisans tried to use his crimes for their own ends.

Everyday the crimes of the ripper appeared in the newspaper as well as the results of the inquires, the investigation and the feelings of the people who lived in East End too.

Short story, in the end it was the press who made this murderers a “new thing”. It was the press too, who invented a lot of myths around the Ripper. He may not be a sexual killer, like it was common in the 1990s, or the most important killer in the history (if there is such thing) but he sure did terrified a city and made the whole world take notice leaving his horrible and mutilated victims in plain sight.

Unfortunately, the Ripper was never caught and it’s the mystery around this killer that makes people still want to solve it in nowadays. This makes Jack The Ripper one of the most famous killers in history and very important to the english culture.

Montague John Druitt (August 15, 1857 – December 1888)

Born in Wimborne Minster, Dorset, Druitt was a barrister who also worked as an assistant schoolmaster in Blackheath, London. Druitt was named as a Ripper suspect by Assistant Chief Constable Sir Melville Macnaghten, when his decomposed body was found in the Thames on December 31, 1888; the cause of his death being a suicide drowning. Because Druitt's suicide took place just weeks after the slaying of Mary Jane Kelly on November 9, 1888, it prompted authorities to consider him a prime suspect for the Ripper Murders.
Seweryn Klosowski aka George Chapman (December 14, 1865 – April 7, 1903)

George Chapman

Poland-born Klosowski emigrated to the UK shortly before the start of the murders, sometime between 1887 and 1888. He later took on the name Chapman somewhere around 1893 or 1894.

Chapman was hanged in 1903 for poisoning three of his wives, he used a compound known as tartar-emetic,Tartar-emetic poisoning results in a very painful death.

Chapman worked as a barber in Whitechapel, during the time of the Ripper Murders. According to author H.L. Adam, who wrote a book in 1930 about the Chapman murders, Abberline favored him above all other suspects.

Francis Tumblety (1833 – 1903)
Tumblety despised all women, but claimed to possess a particular hatred for prostitutes. He had claimed to be soured on women after an earlier failed marriage to a prostitute.
In 1865, he was arrested for complicity in the Abraham Lincoln assassination, but was released without charge.
In 1913, Tumblety was mentioned as a Ripper suspect by Chief Inspector John Littlechild of the Metropolitan Police Service in a letter to journalist and author George R. Sims. Littlechild had suspected Tumblety due to his extreme misogyny and prior criminal charges.
Most experts today dismiss any connection between Tumblety and the Ripper murders, because his appearance and age did not match any eyewitness descriptions.

James Kelly (1860-1929)
Declared clinically insane and incarcerated in 1883 for stabbing his wife to death, Kelly escaped from Broadmoor Asylum in 1888 before the Whitechapel murders began.
