Jack the ripper is perhaps the most famous serial killin history. But his identy has alwasy eluded ud. In Whitechapel, East London, in 1888, Jack the Ripper killed five women, but Scotland Yard suspected 11. He mutilated the women removing the uterus, kidney, and other organs. some of the victim’s faces were unrecognizable, and their bodies left guttered on the streets of Whitechapel. At the time the belief was he was a Doctor. but anyone with anatomical knowledge could have made the killings. The killer could not hide his rage against women.
