What is a Serial killer? A serial killer is a person who commits a series of murders, often with no clear motive and consistently following a characteristic, foreseen behavior pattern. The Notorious serial killer, Jack the Ripper killed at least five London female prostitutes in 1888. Never captured, his identity is one of English's most famous unresolved mysteries!
Jack the Ripper was a former British killer and DNA evidence has exposed the identity of Jack the Ripper! The most infamous serial killer in history has been known as a rather underwhelming Polish madman called Aaron Kosminski, who was committed to a mental asylum at the height of the Ripper frenzy.

The body of Mary Ann Nichols was discovered in the small morning hours of August 31, 1888, at about 3:40am by 2 Carmen on their way to work. Her body was found in front of a gated horse stable entry on Buck's Row, Whitechapel. She is mostly believed to have been the first of Jack the Ripper's "canonical" five victims. The two men who come upon her, Charles Cross and Robert Paul, saw Ann lying on the ground with her skirts pulled up to her waist. At first they weren't sure if she was either passed out drunk or dead, so they hastily went to seek for help! Her throat had been deeply severed in two locations, nearly beheading her, and her lower abdomen partially ripped open by a deep, sharp wound. The killer had also made several other cuts in her abdomen with the same knife. The doctor who had arrived at the scene to examine her body had estimated her time of death to be less than 30 minutes from the time she'd been found. A witness had reported seeing Annie Chapman talking with a man outside 29 Hanbury Street, Spitalfields at 5:30am, and the morning of her murder. Albert Cadosch reported hearing a woman in the next door backyard say “No”, trailed by what sounded like a body falling against the fence. Roughly twenty minutes later, her severely mutilated body was found by carter John Davis near a doorway in the back yard of 29 Hanbury Street. Her throat had been cut in much the same manner as Mary Ann Nichols had been slashed and her abdomen ripped completely open. Her intestines, torn out and still attached, had been placed over her right shoulder. A later analysis revealed that the killer had removed her uterus and parts of her vagina. The Ripper would claim two victims in the early morning hours of September 30, 1888; the first of which was Elizabeth Stride. Her body was discovered in Dutfield's Yard, off Berner Street, at approximately
