Most of the victims of the Whitechapel murderer were killed in the early hours of the morning, between 2 and six AM. The victim Annie Chapman's time of death is of interest because it took place somewhere between 5 AM and 5: 50 AM; in a backyard of a boarding house that was already active at that time of day as was the street nearby. By killing Chapman where he did and when he did the killer exposed himself to considerable risk.

Who was 'Jack the Ripper'?

Jack the Ripper is a pseudonym given to an unidentified serial killer (or killers) active in the largely impoverished Whitechapel area and adjacent districts of London, England in the latter half of 1888. The name is taken from a letter to the Central News Agency by someone claiming to be the murderer, published at the time of the killings. There have been some theories that "Jack" may have actually been a "Jill", but the evidence is inconclusive. Although several suspects were investigated by the police at the time, no solid evidence on anybody was ever collected - ideas abound now about over a hundred suspects, many linked by the tiniest shred of circumstantial proof. Nobody was prosecuted and the murders remain unsolved today.

How many women were killed in Whitechapel by Jack the Ripper?

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?

When did the Jack the Ripper murders stop?

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.
