Jack the Ripper
In the autumn of 1888, a series of gruesome murders
brought widespread Panic to the street of London’s East End
and sent shockwaves reverberating through polite society.
The victims were women earning income as prostitutes.
Most victims' throats were slit, after which the bodies were mutilated.
The removal of internal organs from three of the victims led
some officials at the time of the murders to propose
that the killer possessed anatomical or surgical knowledge.
