For certains, Jack the Ripper is a very important
part of the the english folklore like the english fog, the traditional
tea at 5 o'clock, the Big Ben,...
This horrible character always killed his
victims by an only way. He was protected from his shadows and he
acted as a detailed man and with any mistake. We can say that he
was an evil man with sexual harassments and he only killed a kind
of women of a lower class, prostitutes.
Jack the Ripper was really famous for his
clever move at the moment to desappear. However, his shadow walked
through London, but nobody knew this person.
His first victim, Martha Turner, was an old
prostitute without teeth and addicted to alcohol who spent all night
wandering the city streets, in Whitechapel's quarter. Her body was
cut into small pieces and was found on 8th August in 1888 at the
stairs of George Yard, at 4 o'clock a.m. The murderer used a long
and sharp knife. Her body had been separated into sexual organs
with a methodic way. Suddenly, the deductions were that the murderer
was a madman. However, the crime didn't aroused any interest and
journals never spoke about this crime.
On 31th August another body was found: Mary
Ann Nicholl's body, also called Polly, another alcoholic prostitute.
Her traquea, her oesophagus and her marrow were cut. Her death was
instantaneous. An information pointed out that the injures were
made by an expert and with an absolutly accuracy and cleanliness.
There were a lot of speculations that said that a doctor was the
murderer.
On 7th September, the police found in the
number 29 in Hanbury's street, the Annie's Chapman corpse, an old
and alcoholic prostitute had the same kind of injures that Martha
and Polly's bodies. In this moment, the panic of the population
was enourmous. The police made some interviews, and some people
said that they had seen a young man (40 years old approximately)
with a foreigner way of speaking walking through London's streets.
John Pizer was a shoemaker who was a suspicious,
but he had a good excuse. The Scotland's Yard investigators made
an enormous investigation but nothing was discovered.
These crimes were anonymous, but one day
the murderer wrote and sent a letter to a very important London
journey, and he signed with a pseudonium: Jack the Ripper.
The police printed a lot of copies of the
letter, they wanted to find someone who knows that hand-writing.
But this trying didn't have any effect, and Jacck comited a new
crime in October 29th. He used the same system that he did in his
other crimes. He killed two whores: Elizabeth Stride, known as Long
Lizz, and Catherine Eddows. Their bodies were found with the throat
cut.
A few days later, Jack sent a packet which
contained a half of one of his victim's kidney to George Lusk, the
president of Witechapel's guards. In this packet there was a letter
where there was written the other kidney's half had been eaten by
him.
The last crime attributed to Jack the Ripper
is the murder of Mary Jane Kelly, and it has been the cruelest.
Mary Jane was a whore but she was younger than the other victims,
and she was very beautiful. Her body was found on 10th November
in a room where she used to meet her customers, in a old building
at Miller's Court street number 13.
Jack the Ripper was sure that nobody would
find him, so he could spend a lot of time. He cut Mary's throat
and wounded her, and divided her into a lot of pieces like a surgeon,
and left the pieces in the room. Doctors had to work for a half
day more to remake her body.
There are a lot of people who could be Jack the Ripper, and some
of these people are: George Capman, Montague John Druitt, Edward
Carence's duke, James Maybrick and Walter Sickert.
But anyway, we still don't know who was
Jack the Ripper.
