3. Jack the Ripper

unidentified Serial Killer who was active in
the largely impoverished areas in and around
the Whitechapel district of London in 1888.

4.  Eleven separate murders, stretching from 3
April 1888 to 13 February 1891, and were

should be linked to the same culprit, but five
of the eleven Whitechapel murders, known as
the "canonical five", are widely believed to be
the work of the Ripper.

5. Canonical five
 The canonical five Ripper victims are
 Mary Ann Nichols,
 Annie Chapman,
 Elizabeth Stride,
 Catherine Eddowes, and
 Mary Jane Kelly.

a.m. on Friday 31 August 1888. The throat
was severed by two cuts, and the lower part
of the abdomen was partly ripped open by a
deep, jagged wound. Several other incisions
on the abdomen were caused by knife.

7. Annie Chapman
 Chapman's body was discovered at about 6
a.m. on Saturday 8 September 1888. The
abdomen was slashed entirely open, and it
was later discovered that the uterus had been
removed.

 Stride and Eddowes were killed in the early
morning of Sunday 30 September 1888.
Stride's body was discovered at about 1 a.m.
The cause of death was one clear-cut incision
which severed the main artery on the left side
of the neck.

of an hour after Stride's. The throat was
severed, and the abdomen was ripped open
by a long, deep, jagged wound. The left

its organs. The heart was missing.

interrupted. Nichols was not missing any organs;
Chapman's uterus was taken; Eddowes had her
uterus and a kidney removed and her face
mutilated; and Kelly's body was eviscerated and
her face hacked away, though only her heart was
