Jack The Ripper
Between August 30, 1888 and November 10, 1888, the murders of five women took place. All of which happened in or near the Whitechapel district of London’s East End. These heinous crimes were suspected to be committed by one person, Jack the Ripper. He or she disemboweled and mutilated the bodies of Annie Chapman, Mary Ann Nichols, Elizabeth Stride, Catherine Eddowes, and Mary Kelly. To this day Jack the Ripper’s identity is a mystery. Jack the Ripper’s first and second victims were Mary Ann Nichols and Annie Chapman. Both ladies turned to prostitution as a result of losing the funding they received from their ex-husbands. Mary Ann Nichols, at forty-three, was found on August 31, 1888 with her throat cut and several injuries across her abdomen.
