JACK THE RIPPER

Jack the Ripper once had rocked the London serenity. This case, even it has passed hundred years ago, but still it is shrouded in mystery, left to be unsolved. Jack the Ripper appeared in London and the name “Jack the Ripper” was given in order to gave the early impression towards people about his cruelty in killing his victims. He was also called the Whitechappel Murder and “Leather Apron” due to his professionalism in peeling his victims skins, internal body organ or what so ever that seems too gruesome to be told.

The victims usually a group of  prostitutes that work in Whitechappel area, however, the total is undefined until now. But, the police department stated that he was responsible upon the 9 killing serials. The 5 victims that involved were :

·         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.

the state where he left his victim

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

All of them were found in a horrible state. The Ripper seized the women by their throats and strangled them until they were unconscious if not dead. The autopsies constantly revealed clear indications that the victims had been strangled. In the past some writers believed that the Ripper struck from behind when the victims were bent forward, their skirts hiked up their backsides while waiting to engage in anal sex. This is a very awkward arrangement and the risk that they may scream or elude his clutch's make this unacceptable. The Ripper then lowered his victims to the ground, their heads to his left. This has been proven by the position of the bodies in relation to walls and fences that show that there was virtually no room for the murderer to attack the body from the left side. No bruising on the back of the heads shows that he lowered the bodies to the ground rather than throwing or letting them fall. He then slaughter their throats, and took the viscera as a trophy, a token of killing the prostitutes.
