It is very difficult to determine certain aspects of a killer when he was never caught or identified. For over 100 years it was commonly thought that the killer known as Jack The Ripper killed for the first time when he killed Mary Ann (Polly) Nichols on August 31, 1888, but is now generally accepted that Nichols was not the Ripper's first victim and possibly not even his second. Martha Tabram, found murdered in the early morning hours of August 6-7, 1888, was almost surely JTR's victim also. Whether he killed prior to Tabram's murder we may never know, but it is safe to say that his crimes began in earnest in 1888.

Was Jack the Ripper Jose Rizal?

for me rizal is the number one suspect for being JTR Jose Rizal is possibly Jack the Ripper. Rizal's acts are unknown when he left the library or at night. He has a love of women and so as Jack the Ripper. He is a doctor and highly educated and Jack the Ripper uses medicine to kill his victims and cut off their body parts. For me it's 70 percent the Jose is Jack the Ripper. As per discussion it is highly unlikely that Rizal would be JTR. JTR had a hatred for women which is evident in his murders. He had to blend in to the east end and I doubt a person of hispanic decent would blend in at all. It is also evident from the butchered bodies of his victims that JTR had no special medical training and there has never been any evidence that would indicate the killer used medicine to kill his victims. Their throats were slit, almost to the point of decapitation, and then the were gutted like a fish. This is not the work of someone who loves women.
