The 12 Most Infamous Serial Killers - Pt. 12 

#1 - Jack the Ripper 

Number of murders: 5
Period of killings: 1888

The most famous serial killer of all, Jack the Ripper, murdered five prostitutes in the Whitechapel area of east London. The victims’ throats were cut prior to abdominal mutilations. The removal of internal organs from at least three of the victims led to proposals that their killer possessed anatomical or surgical knowledge. In fact, during his killing spree, the killer sent a letter to the media (later known as the ‘From Hell’ letter) along with a half-preserved human kidney.

Prime suspects included Polish barber Severin Klosowski, also known as George Chapman, and Montague Druitt, an unsuccessful barrister, who committed suicide within weeks of the Ripper’s last killing. Despite huge police resources being thrown at the case, nobody was ever caught.

    Interestingly, Patricia Cornwell wrote a book about her own theory about the Ripper killings, and the Ripper himself....
