1888/1889 the only killings that are agreed by all hisorians were taken place in 1888 but there may have been some killings in 1889
The Jack the ripper murders as we know, were in 1888. At 5 were attributed to him that year.
Most of the Ripper's murders were found in one small geographical area, about 1 square mile, in London's poverty-stricken east end. But there were other murders outside that area around the time of Jack The Ripper's killings that have not been ruled in or out as Ripper murders.
Probably not. Jack The Ripper is still unidentified and although it's been over 120 years since hes murders began the case is still officially open and unsolved.
The unsolved 'Jack the Ripper' murders.
The last of the canonical five murders was Mary Kelly on November 9th, 1888. But some people believe that later murders in Whitechaple were also the work of Jack the Ripper. And others believe that Jack the Ripper left the country and committed murders in the US. We don't know for sure. Soon after Kelly's death, the body of Montagu Druitt was found in the Thames, and a note went round Scotland Yard saying that there would be no more murders now. Assuming Kelly was the last Ripper victim, this would point to Druitt as the serial murderer. As for some other murders in the area in the following year or two, many authors have tried to link these to the Ripper, but most experts are not convinced.
The files kept by the Metropolitan Police show that the investigation opened in 1888 encompassed eleven murders from 3rd April 1888 to 13th February 1891 and were known as the Whitechapel Murders. Amongst this eleven murders investigated by the police, five are almost universally agreed upon as having been the work of the Ripper. However there were other murders and there is no absolute proof that the Ripper killed only the 5 or even this 5. Numerous authors proffer numerous possibilities of identity for the Ripper and the actual number of murders. So the whole Ripper scenario is just shrouded in mystery - everyone can have their pet theory that cannot be proven or disproven. In fact apart from the fact that there were murders, nothing is known for sure - perhaps 'Jack the Ripper' was a woman?
The six murders generally attributed to Jack the Ripper occurred between 7 August and 9 November 1888.

Jack the Ripper's reasons for discontinuing his murders are unknown. Many theories have been put forth, such as that he committed suicide, that he fled the country, or that he was arrested and/ or institutionalized for other offenses. This last theory is quite probably the most likely.
Jack the Ripper was never caught so we don't know when he died.Most of the witness accounts agreed that he was between 25 and 35 years old when he was commiting the murders.
