Jack the Ripper

By Timotei Savu

Jack the Ripper is one of the mysteries of London in Victorian times. Jack the Ripper is a pseudonym that was attributed to an unknown murderer who committed five famous murders. All these murders were committed in Whitechapel, a poor district of London. 
 There were more murders, but it is doubtful that they were committed by Jack the Ripper. The victims were Marie Ann Nichols, Annie Chapman, Elizabeth Stride, Catherine Eddowes, and Marie Jane Kelly; they were all prostitutes.

 A lot of detectives investigated this case but no one discovered anything. The Scotland Yard detectives who investigated the case were Edmund Reid, Frederick Abberline, Henry Moore and Walter Andrews.

I think that Jack the Ripper had some connection with schools because all the murders were committed near schools (see the map). Jack the Ripper will continue being a mystery.
