The canonical five Ripper victims are Mary Ann Nichols, Annie Chapman, Elizabeth Stride, Catherine Eddowes and Mary Jane Kelly. Nichols' body was discovered at about 3:40 a.m. on Friday 31 August 1888 in Buck's Row (now Durward Street), Whitechapel.
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 five victims are are generally accepted to have been the handiwork of Jack the Ripper. Mary Ann Nichols, Annie Chapman, Elizabeth Stride, Catherine Eddowes, and Mary Jane Kelly. Other alleged victims are "Fairy Fay", Annie Millwood, Ada Wilson, Emma Smith, Martha Tabram, Whitehall Mystery, Annie Farmer, Rose Mylett, Elizabeth Jackson, Alice Mackenzie, Pinchin St. Murder, Frances Coles, and Carrie Brown.
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.

Jack The Ripper's MO (modus operandi) was cutting the throats of his victims and then mutilating them, and in some victims he took internal organs.
Jack the Ripper, sliced his victims open and removed some of the their internal organs, he literally 'ripped' his victims apart.
There were token protests from a few family members and/or significant others as to the profession of their loved ones after meeting with Jack The Ripper, but the truth is without exception the Ripper's victims were full/part/occational prostitutes.
If you mean Jack the Ripper, he killed his victims with a knife, cutting the throats of women and then cutting out vital organs.
