Jack the Ripper was a serial killer in Victorian London who murdered and mutilated prostitutes. Five confirmed victims are identified along with brief descriptions of their backgrounds and deaths. Several potential suspects for Jack the Ripper's true identity are discussed, including Dr. Thomas Neill Cream, Francis Tumblety, George Chapman, and Prince Albert Victor. The document concludes by stating the opinion that Francis Tumblety was likely Jack the Ripper due to his relationship with the final victim, Mary Jane Kelly.

1. Who was Jack the ripper?

3.  Jack the ripper was a serial killer in the
Victorian times. He only seemed to kill
prostitutes. No one knows who he was or
why he did it but there are a lot of
theories/conspiracies that people might know
who Jack the ripper was.

5. "Polly" Nichols as she was known to many, was aged
42 when Jack the Ripper's icy hand took her life.The
estranged wife of a printer, Polly had borne five
children before husband William eloped with one of
her friends in 1877. It was then that she became
trapped in the downward spiral of drink and
prostitution, her final days spent living in the squalid
conditions of the "White House" doss-house on
Flower and Dean Street. She was laid to rest at
Ilford cemetery on September 6th 1888.

6.  "Dark Annie" met her death on a foggy night, alone,
undernourished and suffering from brain and lung
diseases which would soon have claimed her if Jack's
Knife hadn't. Annie wandered the East End Streets
penniless following the death of her husband in 1886.
Cruelly treated by life, Annie had two daughters, one
of which died in 1882, and a son who was crippled.
Living off immoral earnings and selling matches and
flowers, Annie was a street hardened rogue. She was
buried in secret, at Manor Park on September 14th
1888, by her family.

7. "Long Liz" was born in Gothenburg, Sweden in November 1843,
named Elizabeth Gustafsdotter. After becoming a registered
prostitute and giving birth to a still born girl, she moved to London
in 1866 and married JohnThomas Strise, a carpenter, supposedly
living in Gower Street, London.The Strides allegedly kept a coffee
shop prior to the breakdown of their marriage in 1882. long Liz
was to have had eight convictions for drunkenness before her fatal
appointment with Jack the Ripper. Elizabeth Stride was buried in a
paupers grave in the East London cemetery aged 44 years.

8.  Born in 1842, the daughter of a tin plate worker, Catherine
Eddowes came to London's Bermondsey district at the
age of two. She returned to her nativeWolverhampton,
withThomas Conway, a pensioner, who was to father her
three children.The couple separated in 1880, victims of
habitual drinking. "Kate" left for London once more,
where she resided in Flower and Dean Street. Following a
hop picking venture in Kent, Kate was sadly to embark on
her final tragic journey via Bishopsgate police cells into the
clutches of the evil Ripper. She was buried in an unmarked
grave in Ilford on 8th October 1888, witnessed by hoards
of onlookers, aged 44

9.  "Black Mary" was unlike the other victims. At 25 she was
young and attractive, and as a prostitute would have
better served the prestigious West End clients as opposed
to working the grim streets of the East End. Mary was
born in Limerick, Ireland and moved toWales where she
married a collier who was tragically killed in a pit disaster.
After turning to prostitution in Cardiff, she moved south to
London where she worked in aWest End brothel. "Fair
Emma" came to lodge at various abodes around Dorset
Street, London, the "Wicked Quarter Mile", and it was at
Millers Court that she was found brutally murdered. She
was buried atWalthamstow R.C. cemetery on 19th
November

11. Dr.Thomas Neill Cream also known
as the Lambeth Poisoner, was a
Scottish-born serial killer, who
claimed his first proven victims in
the United States and the rest in
England, and possibly others in
Canada and Scotland.Cream,
who poisoned his victims, was
executed after his attempts to
frame others for his crimes
brought him to the attention of
London police.
Unsubstantiated rumours suggested
his last words as he was being
hanged were a confession that he
was Jack the Ripper—even
though he was in prison at the
time of the Ripper murders.

12.  FrancisTumblety was an
Irish-American who
earned a small fortune
posing as an "Indian
Herb" doctor throughout
the United States and
Canada. He was a
notorious self-promoter
and was often in trouble
with the law. He was put
forward as a suspect in
the unsolved Jack the
Ripper murders.

13.  George Chapman was a Polish
serial killer known as the
Borough Poisoner. Born
Seweryn Antonowicz
Kłosowski in Poland, he
moved as an adult to England,
where he committed his
crimes. He was convicted and
executed after poisoning
three women, but is
remembered today mostly
because some authorities
suspected him of being the
notorious serial killer, Jack the
Ripper.

14.  Prince AlbertVictor was a member of the
British Royal Family. He was the eldest son
of Albert Edward, Prince ofWales (later King
EdwardVII) andAlexandra, Princess ofWales
(later Queen Alexandra), and the grandson
of the reigning monarch, QueenVictoria.
From the time of his birth, he was second in
the line of succession to the throne, but he
did not become king because he died before
his father and his grandmother, the Queen.
 AlbertVictor's intellect, sexuality and sanity
have been the subject of much speculation.
Rumours linked him with the Cleveland
Street scandal, which involved a homosexual
brothel, but there is no conclusive evidence
verifying or disproving the rumours or his
sexual orientation. Some authors have
argued that he was the serial killer known as
Jack the Ripper. Contemporary documents
indicate that AlbertVictor could not have
been in London at the time of the murders,
however, and the claim is widely dismissed.

15.  Born in 1858 and raised in 4 Hair
brain Court, less than a mile from the
heart of White chapel. Joseph's
father, himself a fish porter, died in
1864, and his mother deserted the
family soon after. As a result, the
children were raised by his older
brothers, Denis and Daniel, as well as
his sister Catherine. All four of the
Barnett brothers were fish porters by
1878, working in Billingsgate Market.
 Joseph met Mary Jane Kelly on April
8th, 1887, and the two decided soon
after to room together at various
locations for the next year and a half.
By the time of the Ripper murders,
they were living in 13 Miller'sCourt,
Dorset Street.This is the location
where Kelly's mutilated body would
be found on November 9th, 1888.

16. 2. Mary Nichols
3. Annie Chapman
4.Elizabeth Stride
1. MarthaTabram
5.Catherine
Eddowes
6.Mary Jane Kelly

18.  In my Opinion I think Jack the ripper was
FrancisTumblety. I think this because He was
in a relationship with Mary Jane Kelly (last
victim) and on the day of her murder they had
a big fall out which would lead to the Murder
of Mary Jane Kelly.This could have happened
before so he could have murdered all her
friends to stop them gossiping andThen get a
final revenge by killing Mary Jane Kelly.
