At least four of Jack the Ripper's victims were known to be prostitutes, but friends of Catherine Eddowes (including a Mr Kelly who might as well have been her husband) never knew her to be one.
Jack the Ripper killed women he found out on the streets, alone. Most women out on the Whitechaple streets alone were probably prostitutes, and prostitutes were easy to talk into secluded spaces, which is what made them ideal targets.

∙ 13y agoSince Jack The Ripper has never been identified it would be impossible to say for sure if his victims were or were not all prostitutes. In all likelyhood, most of his victims would fit into this catagory. But it is not uncommon for this type of killer to hunt other types. Sometimes becoming a victim may be as easy as opportunity, a certain victim was available at the right time.

∙ 13y agoHe strangled them first. THEN he slit their throats -- they, being already dead, didn't really bleed all that much.
Information from what was left of evidence and autopsy reports the most likely scenario was the victims had their throats slit from behind, which would keep the majority of blood spray off the killer. They were then lowered onto their backs where the Ripper began ripping. The bodies were cut open and organs removed, some missing, others arranged around the victim's bodies.
