# Jack the Ripper

### From Wikipedia, a free encyclopedia written in simple English for easy reading.

Jack the Ripper is the name given to a serial killer, or a group of serial killers, active during the summer and fall of 1888 in the Whitechapel district of London, England.

The main victims thought to be by the same man were five prostitutes:

- Mary Ann Nichols (killed August 31)
- Annie Chapman (Killed September 8)
- Elizabeth Stride (September 30)
- Catharine Eddowes (September 30)
- Mary Jane Kelly (November 9)

Several other murders were reported around the time of these but were not believed to be the work of Jack the Ripper. Nobody knows who Jack the Ripper realy was. Some think he might of been a doctor or a butcher because of how he cut and killed the women. Newspapers and police in London around this time started receving taunting letters from someone who signed them Jack the Ripper.
