Summary
Jack the Ripper was an unknown serial killer active in the mainly poor parts around the Whitechapel district of London in the year 1888. In both the criminal case files and modern journalistic books, the killer was referred to as the Whitechapel Killer and Leather Apron.
He caused quite some havoc, going after some of the most impoverished neighborhoods and killing victim after victim, without ever being found. The British police was dumbstruck and carried out multiple investigations, coming up with various suspects but never able to pinpoint who did it or why. With about 1200 women working as prostitutes in the Whitechapel district at the time, it must have been a special interest of the murderer to pursue and prey on these less fortunate ladies. The removal of intestines and genitalia, as well as facial mutilations, were characteristics of this vicious criminal. If that doesn’t give you nightmares, then I don’t know anymore.
