I was an unknown murderer who terrorized London in 1888. From August 31 to November 9, five prostitutes were killed and mutilated. I The murderer was called Jack the Ripper because a knife was used to cut My victims' throats and slash their bodies.I The murderer was never caught in spite of the efforts of police, citizen patrols, bloodhounds, and even fortunetellers. Scotland Yard, the headquarters of the London Metropolitan Police, identified three principal suspects. All were men who were known to be insane. However, the police failed to prove that any of them had committed the murders. Widespread charges of police incompetence caused the commissioner of Scotland Yard, Sir Charles Warren, to resign on November 8, the day before the fifth murder.The London police received hundreds of letters from people who claimed to be the murderer. Only one of the letters seemed to be authentic. The sender's address was "From Hell," and part of a kidney of one of the victims was enclosed.
