He killed five prostitutes and mutilated their bodies in a bizarre way,which made the authorities believe that he had some knowledge of human anatomy. He committed murders between 7th august and 10th september.
His motive or intention is still a mystery. The Scotland Yard police received letters from Jack The Ripper, taunting them of not being able to catch him.
In 1888 ,there were many prostitutes in London and prostitution was only illegal if it caused public disturbance. Jack seemed to have hatred towards the female gender for some unknown reason as he only targeted prostitutes as they were easily available.
Once, Jack was about to get caught when the neighbours of one of the victims heard the woman’s screams but he escaped like the wind. He was like the wind, which could be felt but never caught!
Many believed he was mentally ill and sick. But many researchers proved that he was completely sane as he was very smart and never left a single clue and had a lot of knowledge about anatomy.
For centuries the police tried a forlorn investigation intermittently and many people were suspected to be JTR, but unfortunately they never got him. It was as if he was like a wind who could be felt but could never be caught. He was England’s and the World’s most notorious and mysteries serial killers of all time.
There were 3 main suspects including Queen Victoria’s grandson, a Victorian painter and a Polish immigrant, all of whom were maniacs and hated Prostitutes,but none of them were Jack The Ripper.
It seemed whoever he was,he took his secret to his grave!
