The names of the five victims universally ascribed to Jack the Ripper are:Mary Ann Nichols, 31 August 1888

Annie Chapman, 8 September 1888

Elizabeth Stride, 30 September 1888

Katherine Eddowes, 30 September 1888

Mary Jane Kelly, 9 November 1888

Other women whom may have been victims of the murderer are:

Annie Millwood, February 25th 1888. She was likely attacked by the murderer. She sustained numerous wounds in the legs and abdomen by a man she stated she did not know, whom attacked her with a clasp knife. She survived the attack but died a month later of an aneurysm.

Martha Tabram, August 6 1888. Very likely to be the Ripper's first victim. Her wounds consisted of thirty-nine stab wounds and an attempt had been made to open her abdominal cavity.

Alice Mackenzie, 9 July 1889: Likely a Ripper victim. Her wounds consisted of her throat being slashed from left to right, and her abdominal cavity opened.

Francis Coles, February 13 1891. Possibly a Ripper victim. Her body was discovered by a patrolman, her throat had been slashed from left to right. The constable heard men's footsteps walking calmly away but saw nobody.

For over a century it was thought that there were only five victims, the last being Mary Kelly in November 1888. Those five are Mary Ann (Polly) Nichols, Annie Chapman, Elizabeth Stride, Katherine Eddows and of course Kelly. It is most likely that the number of victims is closer to a dozen, at least.

There are many aspects of the Jack the Ripper case that are not simply black and white. There are still considerable areas of gray, or the unknown. The Ripper was never apprehended which makes it hard to get to the truth. Victim count is not a certainty. The five canonical victims are: Mary Ann "Polly" Nichols, Annie Chapman, Elizabeth Stride, Catherine Eddows and Mary Jane Kelly.

My own opinion is that there were more victims than the five listed above. Serial killers that are not apprehended will continue to kill unless they develop health problems or finally grow too old for the hunt. It is now widely accepted that Martha Tabram was a Ripper victim, several weeks before Mary Ann Nichols. For many who have studied the Ripper's crimes, the murder of prostitute Frances Coles on February 13, 1891, in Swallow Gardens,Whitechapel, is most likely a victim of the Ripper.
