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.
Of all Jack's victims Stride got off easy. Because he was interrupted by a man with a pony cart the Ripper had to flee before he could mutilate her body. But he did have time to cut her throat, nearly decapitating her.
One assumes you are talking about the Jack the Ripper (actually there were several murders of low-life types in London Red-light zone) in the l880:s/) Movies and stuff have moved up the scale to say l900"s to use more modern props like automobiles of the early type, but they happened ( Homicides, not automobiles!) earlier. The Ripper crimes have never been officially solved.
Jack The Ripper Jack The Ripper was not a crime, it was a name given to a notorious criminal murderer who to this day has not been formerly identified.---To answer this question more information would be required, such as when historically,over what period of time,moral or legal crime etc.
There is no historical record or evidence to suggest that Elizabeth Stride, who was a victim of Jack the Ripper, died by any means other than being murdered. She was found dead with her throat cut in the early hours of September 30, 1888, in Whitechapel, London. The identity and motive of Jack the Ripper remain unknown.
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.
The Whitechapel Murders began with the death of Mary Ann Nichols killed on 31 April 1888.
She had a good theory but after reading the book, you come to the conclusions that he was not the ripper.
The Jack the ripper murders as we know, were in 1888. At 5 were attributed to him that year.
Most of the Ripper's murders were found in one small geographical area, about 1 square mile, in London's poverty-stricken east end. But there were other murders outside that area around the time of Jack The Ripper's killings that have not been ruled in or out as Ripper murders.
The unsolved 'Jack the Ripper' murders.
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?
The six murders generally attributed to Jack the Ripper occurred between 7 August and 9 November 1888.

Thomas Bates was a witness that saw the ripper while he was walking from the place of one of his murders.
I believe that his motivation to kill was psychosexual in nature. He also mutilated these women and removed their genitals which suggest that there was some sort of sexual sadistic motive, according to the different serial killer typologies.
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.
