Late Victorian...or precisely later half of 1888

2006-12-16 11:35:14 · answer #1 · answered by feanor 7 · 0 1

People who study the crime believe that either five or six women were killed in London by one man (or woman accoriding to a wild theory, or according to another he had an accomplice, which may be suggested by the Elizabeth Stride Mitre Square killing) in the fall to winter to winter of 1888.

Contrary to what another person wrote, Mary Kelly was indeed killed in 1888 rather than 1892. She was part of the "canonical five," as it were, who were all murdered in 1888.

But that is not the end of the story. Some speculate that Jack the Ripper continued his glastly crimes into the early 1890s! This is probably not likely: scholars believe the real Jack was either institutionalized, left the country (some theorists point to similarities between the London crimes and crimes in the United States) or committed suicide after Mary Kelly's murder.

Similiarities exist between Jack's M.O. and the following murdered women: Elizabeth Jackson (1889), Alice Mackenzie (1889) and Frances Coles (1891). Again, most theorists discount these women and say that Mary Kelly was the last in late 1888. People were increasingly vigilant and it became harder to murder women. Plus, Jack seems to follow a trajectory where each murder got more and more ghastly. Kelly was so disembowled, so destroyed, that what more could he do?

Indeed, Victoria was monarch during this entire period, and so the time period was named after her.

Jack the Ripper murdered his victims in the summer and fall of 1888 in the Whitechapel district of London. This was basically during the Victorian era.

ok i will avert making a scathing remark related to your appalling grammar and respond to the fact on account that's what you have executed you haven't any longer surely asked a query. initially, no person is conscious of for specific the identity of Jack the Ripper. Your incontrovertible fact that it became the Duke of Clarence could be mind-blowing thinking it particularly is over a a hundred years after the crime occurred. there have been various suspects whilst it got here to his identity. one in each and every of various suspects became the Duke of Clarence yet it relatively is all he became 'A SUSPECT'! yet another suspect became an American alongside with various others. New theories on the Ripper's identity floor lots. it could have been an American, a Brit or yet another nationality. The Duke of Clarence won repute by using his being a member of the royal kinfolk. there is added hypothesis that he did no longer particularly die of Pneumoinia yet rather died of Siphylis caught from the prostitutes of London. All this hypothesis became into an quite good action picture suggested as 'From Hell' featuring Johnny Depp. even nonetheless it relatively is all hypothesis! we can on no account understand! Now circulate back to college!

The "Canonical" killings took place between Aug 29 1888, and Nov. 9 1888.

To correct ebillar, Stride was killed in Berner St--It was Catherine Eddowes who was killed in Mitre Sq.
