THE HISTORY OF A MURDER
Jack the Ripper
PRESENTATION
Good Morning, we are Agar, Carla and Cynthia and we’re going to talk about Jack the ripper. Later, we’ll try to answer some questions you may have. At first, I’m going to describe our presentation (read contents).
WHO IS HE?
“Jack the Ripper” is the best-known name given to an unidentified serial killer. In this photo, we can see how it represents Jack the Ripper. Nobody knew who he was and the police suspect of anyone who had similar characteristics to the person in the photo.
JACK THE RIPPER, NAME OR NICKNAME?
The name originated in a letter, written by someone claiming to be the murderer, that was disseminated in the media. The letter is widely believed to have been a hoax, and may have been written by a journalist in a deliberate attempt to heighten interest in the story. Other nicknames used for the killer at the time were “The Whitechapel Murderer” and “Leather apron”.
WHAT DID HE DO? WHERE? HOW DID HE START?
Where did he do the murders? There were committed around the Whitechapel district of London in 1888. In the mid-19th century, England experienced an influx of Irish immigrants, who swelled the populations of England’s major cities, including the East End of London. From 1882, Jewish refugees from Eastern Europe and Tsarist Russia moved into the same area. Work and housing conditions worsened, and a significant economic underclass developed. Robbery, violence and alcohol dependency were commonplace and the endemic poverty drove many women to prostitution. The economic problems were accompanied by a steady rise in social tensions. Racism, crime, social disturbance, and real deprivation fed public perceptions when a series of vicious and grotesque murders attributed to “Jack the Ripper” received unprecedented coverage in the media.
MURDERS, MURDERS CONECTION
There are five victims who are given to Jack the Ripper. This canonical five Ripper victims are Mary Ann Nichols, Annie Chapman, Elizabeth Stride, Catherine Eddowes and Mary Jane Kelly. All the victims were prostitutes. This murder mutilated his victims and these mutilations became severe as the series of murders proceeded, except for Stride, whose attacker may have been interrupted. Nichols was not missing any organs; Chapman's uterus was taken; Eddowes had her uterus and a kidney removed and her face mutilated; Kelly's body was mutilated and only her heart was missing from the crime scene. Speculation that the murders were related to each other intensified from September to October 1888, period when there appeared a large number of letters written by one or more anonymous subjects.
INVESTIGATION
One step in the research was that a large group of police officers conducted a research program around Whitechapel house to house, collected forensic material and then it was examined. They began to identify and trace conjectures, examining some more detailed.The butchers, surgeons and doctors became suspicious because of the nature of the mutilations. These a total of 76 were investigated.
SUSPECTS
Somebody said that the concentration of the killings at the weekend, and within a few streets of Whitechapel, has indicated that the Ripper was employed during the week and lived locally. Others have thought the killer was an educated upper-class man, possibly a doctor or an aristocrat, who ventured into Whitechapel from a more well-to-do area. Despite the many and varied theories about the identity and profession of Jack the Ripper, authorities are not agreed on a single solution and the number of suspects reaches over one hundred.
IMITATORS
The newspaper El Mundo of the 26th of May 2010 was published this piece of news:
British police arrested a man suspected of murdering three prostitutes. The media have named as the new Jack "The Ripper".
El Periodico, said about this murderer:
Griffiths (the name of the murderer) is 40 years old and was study a doctorate in criminology, about serial murderers. He said to a neighbor that his academic research focused on Jack the Ripper. The student apparently decided to move from the theoretical to the practical work.
JACK THE RIPPER TOUR
Jack the Ripper is unknown for us, but we know where he committed his crimes. The district is called Whitechapel. It became in a poor district because the big wave of migration. As well as you know, WC was very famous for alcoholism, prostitution and poverty. So it was the perfect place for the birth of a serial killer. Nowadays, people show a lot of interest in this, so a tour was created to show where he killed his victims. It starts in Tower hill at 19,30, and while you are going deep in WC a tourist guide explains where the murders were committed. You are taken away to small and dark streets. Also you can see old taverns and all these things about the ripperian period. The tour is cantered in Commercial st because, there the last witnesses of this period were bund: the white church, the streets, and two pubs that were frequented by some of the victims. The tourist can see photos taken at the moment related with the victims. Finally, the tour ends in the Victorian pub Ten Bells where the tourist usually drinks a beer.
JACK THE RIPPER EVERYWHERE
Jack the ripper has been very famous in the arts world: there are a lot of films about him and one was recorded by Alfred Hitchcock. There were plays and operas. There are a lot of books about this… there are many things. The last film was recorded 8 years ago, so we can say that it’s “new”. The film is set in 1901; the film is about a young man called Jimmy Palmer, a reporter who was writing some articles about some murders in New York. And soon he will be involved in the mysterious and dangerous Jack the Ripper’s case.
NOWADAYS
We have never known who Jack the Ripper was, but the legend won’t be forgotten. At the end of 1991, James Maybrick’s diary was found, the alleged ripper, where there is information which is just known by the police. We think that the Ripper could be a woman and his or her signature was “from hell”.
CONCLUSIONS
In conclusion, there are some websites about more information.
Thanks for your attention.
