The name and term “Jack the Ripper” is a label which is often referred to in vicious murder crimes. It serves as a model or role model of downright evil – almost referring to a person as “Hitler”. The term “jack the ripper” refers to an alias given to an unidentified serial killer active in the largely impoverished Whitechapel area and adjacent districts of London, England in the autumn of 1888. In a taste and example of later descriptive terms in murderers and murder scenes the name itself is taken from a letter sent to the Central News Agency by someone claiming to be the murderer. Shades of the Zodiac killer of the bay area of San Francisco and other future madmen.
The victims were women said at the time to be “sex trade workers”. Earning income as prostitutes. Amazingly murders were perpetrated in open public or semi-public places during the nighttime periods or towards the early morning time periods. The victim’s throat was then cut, after which the bodies were severely mutilated. Theories suggest the victims were first strangled in order to silence them, which also explained the reported lack of blood at the crime scenes. The removal of internal organs from three of the victims led some officials at the time of the murders to propose that the killer possessed anatomical or surgical knowledge or was just a downright pathological killer who enjoyed not only the notoriety but also the whole sordid process.
