101 Amazing Facts about Jack the Ripper - Jack Goldstein

Basic Facts
Jack the Ripper is the name given to a serial killer from late 19th century London.
Not only did the Ripper kill his victims but he also mutilated their bodies.
There were five ‘certain’ victims of Jack; all were killed in the Whitechapel area of the city between August and November of 1888.
In addition to these, there were a number of later murders that it is thought may be connected but were never conclusively proved to have been committed by the same hands.
The name ‘Jack the Ripper’ comes from a letter that was sent to the police claiming to be from the killer.
The victims were prostitutes who lived and worked in the extremely impoverished area of London around which the killings focused.
At the time, a number of factors led to Whitechapel (now in fact an affluent area) being considered a ‘notorious den of immorality’ - from an influx of immigration which had swelled the area’s population way beyond what the amenities of the time could support to the fact there were 62 brothels and around 1200 prostitutes working in the district.
We have never discovered the true identity of the killer, however there are over one hundred theories as to who he (or she) was, with a small number of ‘likely’ suspects.
The killings spread fear and panic throughout the population of the city and led to a large-scale investigation by the Metropolitan Police.
Since the killings, Jack the Ripper has featured in hundreds of books (both fictional and non-fictional) as well as a huge number of movies, computer games and more.

Mary Ann Nichols
Mary Ann, a locksmith’s daughter, was born on the 26th of August 1845 and was the first of Jack the Ripper’s known murder victims.
She was five feet two inches tall with brown eyes and slightly greying dark brown hair.
She was an alcoholic who had not had the best lot in life. At one point she was found sleeping rough on Trafalgar Square before being placed in a workhouse. She did manage to get a job as a domestic servant, however this only lasted two months and she left, turning to prostitution as she did not get on with her employers. Earlier in her life she had married a man named William Nichols, but he had left her because of her drinking. He supported her with an allowance of five shillings a week when they split as was legally required, however the money stopped (again as law dictated) when he found out Mary Ann had turned to prostitution for additional funds. She did stay with
