Summary
Probablemente es uno de los asesinos en serie más famosos de la historia. Cometió varios crímenes en 1888, principalmente en el distrito de Whitechapel, en Londres. No se le ha podido identificar, aunque las investigaciones han llegado a incriminar a personas de la alta sociedad de aquella época: el duque de Clarence, el escritor Lewis Carroll, el pintor Walter Sickert, entre otros. Se le adjudican cinco homicidios y a esas víctimas se las conoce como las "canónicas". Pero en el expediente "Asesinatos de Whitechapel" de la Policía hay once casos. Las mujeres, todas de clase baja, desprotegidas y prostitutas, aparecieron con las gargantas cortadas y los cuerpos mutilados y eviscerados con una violencia inusual. Jack el Destripador es descrito como un asesino inteligente, eficaz, burlón, astuto y despiadadamente fríoDescription in English: "He is probably one of the most infamous serial killers in history.

He is credited with five homicides, and the victims became known as the "canonical ones." Police records list eleven cases under the "Whitechapel Murders". The women, all low-class prostitutes, turned up with their throats slashed and their bodies mutilated, gutted. Jack the Ripper is described as a clever, mocking, cunning, and ruthlessly cold assassin
