Where did the Jack the Ripper murders take place?

Answer 1

The five usually accepted victims were murdered in Whitechaple, in the East End of London, England. It has been suggested that Jack the Ripper also committed murders in the United States and elsewhere.

Answer 2

With very few exceptions* Jack The Ripper's crimes were contained within the streets, alleys and courtyards of what is known as Whitechapel and Spitalfields. These areas are located in the east end of London. In the late 19th century, many of London's poor and impoverished folk lived and worked within these streets and alleys, living a hard-Scrabble existance, many dying long before old age.

From a map of the east end from London's Public Record office gives the locations of eight of Ripper's victims starting with Emma Smith, 45, attacked April 3, 1888, near Osborn Street, Whitechapel. Smith died within 48 hrs. of her attack. Martha Tabram, 35, August 7, 1888, found dead with 39 stab wounds in George Yard Buildings, Spitalfields. Mary Ann Nichols, 47, August 31, 1888, throat cut, stabbed, mutilated, Buck's Row, Whitechapel. Annie Chapman, 47, September 4, 1888, throat cut, stabbed, mutilated, Hanbury Street, Spitalfields. Elizabeth Stride, 44, September 30, 1888, throat cut, Burner Street, Whitechapel. Catherine Eddows, 43, September 30, 1888, throat cut, stabbed, mutilated, in Mitre Square, Aldgate. Mary Jane Kelly, 24, throat cut, stabbed, mutilated beyond recognition, 13 Miller's Court, Dorset Street, Whitechapel.

It should be stated that these may not be a complete list of victims. It is now believed that the Ripper was active into 1891 and possibly beyond.

*One exception is the murder of Catherine Eddows, found murdered Sept. 30, 1888, in Mitre Square, Aldgate. Eddows body was inside 'The Mile' which consisted of one square mile inside the city of London. The Mile was under the jurisdiction of the City of London Police, not the Metropolitan Police headquartered at Scotland Yard. Comparable to city, county, state, federal jurisdictions of our modern law enforcement agencies. It did cause complications as seen in today's serial killers that kill in different cities, states or even countries.
