and postcards addressed from ‘the Ripper’ - something which clearly did not help
their investigation.
Jack the Ripper has fascinated the public for years and the tale of his murders is
known around the world. Because the killer has been referred to by this name for so
long, many people simply don’t question where this nickname first came from - but
now you know!
Investigations and possible authors:
The investigation was very slow and there was no clear suspect, at first it was
believed that the murder had knowledge of anatomy, then some sources denied it.
The only thing that the police had from the murderer was two letters, the first one is
believed to be made by the press, was the one signed by a Jack the Ripper, the second
one is believed to be from the real murderer since it was accompanied by a kidney
from the victims. Today many people continue to investigate what happened. Of the
different suspects, three stand out:
William Withey Gull: Queen's Victorian doctor. Because he has a knowledge of
anatomy.
Aaron Kominski: He was a barber for Whitechapel,. He hated women and had
“homicidal tendencies”.
Prince Albert Victor, Duke of Clarence and Avondale: He stayed with one prostitute
from whitechapel, after he had syphilis. He blamed the prostitute for this.
Montague John Druitt: a man from a “fairly'' good family, although some believed that
he was “sexually insane”. He resided next to Whitechapel and he was suicide seven
weeks after killed Mary Jane Kelly.
Carl Feigenbaum: Was known to be a psychopath who confessed to mutilating
women, he worked next to Whithechapel.
Nowadays the case is open and different people have different theories.
Films:
There are several films about the whitechapel murders and jack the ripper but the
ripper, and from hell are more recent movies. Whitechapel is a series in which some
detectives from London dealt with murders that were trying to copy Jack the Ripper.
The documentary of Jack the Ripper talks about the suspects, locations and they even
recreate some of the crime scenes.
Methodology:
Did Jack the ripper hate women?
This could be produced by multiple causes, since his mother hit him as a child, until
he had a sister who felt contempt for him. All this, moreover, was favored by the type
of society in which he lived.
Why did he murder prostitutes?
That he chose to murder women may be associated with misogyny, but that they were
prostitutes may be related merely to the ease of committing the crimes. Jack wanted
to look for easy prey, women who would approach him on the promise of money and
who could be led into dark streets without suspicion. A normal person will not escort
a hooded man into a secluded alley, but a prostitute will.
