Best Answer

The theory that Jack the Ripper was a surgeon or vet has no real basis. It has long been thought that since the Ripper removed organs that he must have had knowledge of human anatomy. One has only to look at photos or drawings of the victim's wounds to know that this killer deserved the name of "ripper". He literally ripped into his victims, cutting, stabbing and slashing in a near frenzy that lacked all evidence of precision. It would not have been difficult for the killer to have laid hands on a book of anatomy which could have given him a general idea of the locations of internal organs.

Was Jack the Ripper related to Queen Victoria?

Jack the Ripper: The Final Solution is a book written by Stephen Knight first published in 1976. It proposed a solution to five murders in Victorian London that were blamed on an unidentified serial killer known as "Jack the Ripper". It proven to it was well made hoax. I read it when it came out. Book or not, I think that the ripper was a poor man. Anyone that has worked in a butcher shop, knows how to cut organs apart.
