How many murders were there with Jack the Ripper?

Answer 1

The exact number is unknown. But it is believed to be 5, but many think there were more. He was never caught.

The likeliest candidates to have been victims of the Whitechapel murderer are, in order: Annie Millwood, Martha Tabram, Polly Nichols, Annie Chapman, Elizabeth Stride, Kate Eddowes, Mary Kelly, Alice Mackenzie, and Francis Coles.

Answer 2

At least five, although some credit the count as high as twenty-three.

//Here is a list of possible victims:

Fairy Fay 12-26-1887

Annie Millwood 2-25-1888

Ada Wilson 3-28-1888

Emma Smith* 4-3-1888

Martha Tabram 8-7-1888

Whitehall Mystery corpse 10-3-1888

Annie Farmer 11-20-1888

Rose Mylett 12-20-1888

Elizabeth Jackson 6-1889

Alice McKenzie 7-17-1889

Pinchin St. Murder 9-10-1889

Francis Cole 2-13-91

Carrie Brown 4-24-1891

Emmily Dimmock 1907

The above victims are in addition to the original five victims known to have been committed by the killer known as Jack The Ripper.

Mary Ann (Polly) Nichols 8-31-1888

Annie Chapmen 9-8-1888

Elizabeth Stride 9-30-1888

Catherine Eddows 9-30-1888

Mary Jane Kelly 11-9-1888

*Emma Smith-Considered by some to be a Ripper victim, Smith differed in that she lived through her attack to describe her attacker(s). Smith claimed to have been attacked by several men, which does not fit the profile of the other victims. Chances are very good Smith was not a Ripper victim.
Jack the Ripper was a serial killer in London who is said to have killed at least 5 people.
There is a group of five, known as the 'canonical five', because most historians have agreed on their identity, and rejected the many other murder victims (mainly, but not all local) that have also been attributed to the Ripper.

Historians also agree that a possible sixth member of the group might be Martha Tabram, murdered a few weeks before the Ripper's first 'canonical' victim.
The murder who has become known as "Jack the Ripper" murdered prostitutes in London's East End during 1888 and possibly later.

Based upon the characteristics of the murders, he killed at least four women, Mary Ann Nicholls, Annie Chapman, Catherine Eddowes and Mary Jane Kelly.

A fifth victim, Elizabeth Stride, is usually also accepted as a Ripper victim. She was murdered the same night as Catherine Eddowes, but the killer was disturbed very soon after her throat was cut, and as such had no opportunity to inflict the mutilations associated with the Ripper.

Martha Tabram, who was murdered on August 6-7 1888 is regarded by many commentators as a likely early victim of the Ripper. While her injuries were not of the same nature as those of the later victims, they are consistent with being an "immature" or experimental crime by the same perpetrator.

There is at least one other earlier crime (Emma Smith), and several later murders (Rose Mylett, Alice McKenzie and Frances Coles) which are occasionally attributed to the Ripper, although there are features of each which suggest that the attribution is unlikely to be correct. There were also the "torso" cases of 1888 and 1889 and various murders which occured in the USA during the 1890's.

The answer to your question is therefore - as few as four, almost certainly five, most likely 6 and possibly as many as a dozen or more.

Answer 3

31 August 1888 Mary Ann Nichols, 31 August 1888 Annie Chapman, 8 Sept. 1888 Elizabeth Stride, 30 Sept. 1888 Catherine Eddowes and 30 Sept. 1888 Mary Jane Kelly.

Until the last few years the above 5 victims have always been thought to be the only victims of the Ripper. Historians and espescially experts in historic crime now believe that the Ripper has killed far more than he was ever giving credit for before. This gave the false impressions that something happened to the killer after the death of Mary Kelly in November of 1888.

Most Ripper experts now believe that the Ripper's crimes began earlier in the year of 1888, maybe March or even June. Some think that there could be one as early as the year of 1887. But this one can not be proved one way or another. It is a well known fact that as a murderer continues his murders, he gets better at killing. His MO can change, his method safter and time-saving. Murderers evolve and grow and learn and get better at what they do, if the do it often enough.

The most common murders associated with the Ripper are from 1888, pre-Nickols, and go to at least 1891. 11 murdered prostitutes are now the most commonly known victims of Jack The Ripper. But the controversy goes on. There were still many murders with the Ripper's same MO that lasted for many years. Some well into the 20th century. There may never be proof for all of his murders, but the FBI has the average kill for a serial killer at 10 victims. (This is average-not absolute)

Answer 4

As far as we know, no one killed Jack the Ripper. It would be hard to determine, since we don't even know who Jack the Ripper actually was.

If you are asking how many people he killed, we believe he killed five, though it could be as few as three or as many as six. Additional possibilities are sometimes thrown in as well.

Answer 5

There has never been a complete list for the fact that there is so much debate as to which victims were actually killed by the killer known as Jack The Ripper. There are several reasons for this. Forensics were nonexistant in Victorian era London. It was sometimes difficult to tell who was a victim of murder, suicide, accident or natural causes. Coupled with the belief that Mary Kelly was the last victim and then the Ripper vanished has muddied the facts pertaining to the case. I have listed 14 victims that are very likely Ripper victims. This may not be a complete list, give or take a few.

Fairy Faye 12-26-1887 (real name uncertain)

Annie Millwood 2-25-1888

Ada Wilson 3-28-1888

Emma Smith 4-3-1888

Martha Tabram 8-7-1888

Annie Chapman 9-8-1888

Elizabeth Stride 9-30-1888

Katherine Eddows 9-30-1888

Mary Kelly 11-9-1888

Francis Coles 2-13-1891

Carrie Brown 4-24-1891

Answer 6

A conservative estimate would be 12 to 15 victims. It's possible there were many more.
The Jack the Ripper murders happened in London's East End in 1888 in a period of three months were there was 5 prostitutes were killed.

Answer 7

The Jack the ripper case has never been solved so the culprit was never apprehended. Much of the original evidence gathered at the time has been lost, and many "facts" are actually opinions by the various writers who have written about the case during the past century. The number of the victims remains unclear. The official number is 5 victims but it could be 4 or it could reach 12.

Answer 8

The 5 confirmed deaths but other has been atribituted to him.
on the records it is 5 but some ripperolagists say there were 10

Answer 9

None that we know of. His victims were women.

Answer 10

10
