The Mystery of Jack The Ripper:
Jack the ripper has become the most famous murderer. On till today we still don’t know his identity. In the years 1888-1891 Jack the Ripper was known all over the world. It’s hard to find the facts about Jack the Ripper. There are many questions like why Jack killed so many people, who was he, how did he live and how many people he killed?
The officers of Scotland Yard have done many things to find the unknown terror but they have failed!
Over the years the mystery has changed in a fairytale! There are made books, plays, movies and even musicals that have dramatized the facts. Jack the ripper has become more fiction then the reality!
The Victims:
It is unclear how many women the Ripper killed. It is generally accepted that he killed five, but some have written that he murdered only four while others say seven or more. The public, press, and even many police officers believed that the Ripper was responsible for nine slayings. The five that are accepted as the work of the Ripper are:
1. Mary Ann (Polly) Nichols, murdered Friday, August 31, 1888.
2. Annie Chapman, murdered Saturday, September 8, 1888.
3. Elizabeth Stride, murdered Sunday, September 30, 1888.
4. Catharine Eddowes, also murdered that same date.
5. Mary Jane (Marie Jeanette) Kelly, murdered Friday, November 9, 1888.
Besides these five there are good reasons to believe that the first victim wasn’t mary but Martha Tabram who was murdered Tuesday, August 7, 1888. All five of these listed plus Tabram were prostitutes and were killed between early August and early November 1888. All except Tabram and Kelly were killed outdoors and there is no evidence to suggest that any of them knew each other. They varied in age. Most were drunk at the time they were killed.
The manner Jack killed!
There are some manners that Jack the Ripper used when he killed people. Her you can see some manners, you also can see which manner he used by which fictem!
Mary Ann Nichols:
Her throat was cutted throught and her belly was been cut open in a brutal manner. You could see her bowels.
Annie Capman:
Her throat was cutted throught and she was mutilated,her belly was cutted open and her bowels laided on her shoulders.
Elizabeth Stride:
Her throat was cutted throught but she wasn’t mutilated!
Catharine Eddowes:
She was horribly injured and her throat also was cutted throught and her belly was also cutted open. You could also see her bowles and they lay on her right shoulder. She had many wounds in her face and her left kidney was taken away!
Mary Jane Kelly:
She was the youngest of the ripper victims. She was the wourst mutilated victem and she was found in her room without her heart!
You can see that the Ripper many times killed his fictem on the same way!!! He cutted the throught of his fictimes throught and he cutted the fictimes bellies open. Many times he also removed things from the bodies!
Suspects In this Jack the Ripper case there were a lot of suspects. They never found out who actually did it. Witnesses saw the women with a gentleman right before they were murdered. The gentleman was wearing a hat and a long black coat. He probably had a lot of money because he gave the women grapes. The police thought he was a doctor or a butcher, because only they were able to cut and slaughter like that. The letters which the murderer send to the police were also very important, but nobody knows if he send one letter or more. There were several letter but that doesn’t mean the murderer send them all. Each letter was signed with Jack. ‘Ripper’ became his nickname because of the cutting and the slaughtering.

The movie FROM HELL In the summer of 1888 a serial killer killed several people in the slums of London. A psychic inspector tries to unmask this killer, nicknamed by the press as jack the ripper, but that doesn’t go to well. In the meantime the chance of survival of a couple prostitutes seem to shrink with the day!
There are much films about Jack the ripper but this one is the best movie about him. Some time ago a new horror film about Jack has been made! Letter from Within is the name of this movie but the movie band an very chaotic!
A little more Biography
Five prostitutes are brutally murdered in the East End of London. The killer is never caught and the infamous name of ‘Jack the Ripper’ stems from the signed letters the police received that admit to the murders. But did the hand of the killer write these letters? The police doesn’t now exactly how much people he killed. Maybe he killed lots of other people but not in the same way.
The ‘Jack the Ripper’ murders as they quickly became known occurred in London more than 100 years ago in 1888. The killings took place within a mile area and involved the districts of Whitechapel, Spitalfields, Aldgate and the City of London proper and the murderer was also dubbed the Whitechapel Murderer and "Leather Apron."
The Letters from Jack
Letter 1:
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

You know everything of Jack ‘The Ripper’ and you know that nobody knows what the real name of Jack The Ripper is. There’s just one thing we know for sure and that’s that Jack the Ripper doesn’t live anymore.
