Who is generally accepted to be the first victim of Jack the Ripper?

The first "canonical" victim was Mary Ann (also known as "Polly") Nicholls, who was killed on 31 August 1888, but it is now fairly widely accepted by commentators and theorists that Martha Tabram, who was killed on 7 August 1888, was most likely an earlier Ripper victim. There are also a number of non-fatal attacks on women earlier in 1888 which potentially fit the Ripper's modus operandii.

Why did Jack The Ripper jagged Annie's neck?

As far as anyone can tell, Jack The Ripper cut the throats of all of his victims first, before disembowling and mutililating them. This is what is called his MO or modis operandi, how he killed his victims. There is a very logical reason why the Ripper cut his victim's throats first. It left them unable to scream and call attention to the killer. It worked very well. For the most part, JTR worked in relative quiet.


What number murder was Mary Jane Kelly of Jack the Ripper?

For many years it was believed the Mary Kelly's murder on November 9, 1888, was Jack The Ripper's last murder. This simply is not true. A prostitute named Francis Coles was murdered in Whitechapel in 1891 who is now also thought to be killed by JTR. It is also most likely that Mary Ann 'Polly' Nichols was not the Ripper's first victim. At the very least Martha Tabram, who was found murdered several weeks before Nichols, was the Ripper's also. If this is true than Kelly would have been the Ripper's sixth victim, not the fifth.


What was Jack The Ripper's purpose?
