White chapel London 1888 was being terrorized by an unknown killer. From august to November, at least five prostitutes had been found viciously murdered. Their throats were cut, they had abdominal mutilations and some of their organs had been removed. This was the most vicious string of murders that London had ever seen.
The killer, Jack the ripper, was originally called “the white chapel murderer” or “leather apron” and didn’t actually get the name Jack the ripper until letters were received by someone that was claiming to have committed the murders but there is no actual proof that the letters were written by him and it is actually believed that they were written by the media to heighten the people's …show more content…

Jack the ripper has remained popular for a few different reasons. He was never caught, he is a murder mystery and for some reason, people are fascinated with that. He definitely wasn’t the first killer in history, and these weren’t the first string of murders but because of the amount of media coverage when the murders occurred, this made them a huge deal and made it seem like a new thing to the
