Victim
1.
Mary “Polly” Nicholls (1845-1888)
The first acknowledged Ripper victim. At approximately 3:40 am
on August 31st, her body was discovered in Bucks Row by PC
John Neil. Her throat had been cut and her body mutilated.
Victim 2.
Annie Chapman (1841-1888)
Found shortly before 6:00 am on September 8th in the backyard
of 29 Hanbury Street. Her throat had been savagely cut, her
body terribly mutilated and certain organs removed from her abdomen
in a manner which suggested that her attacker had
anatomical knowledge.
Victim 3.
Elizabeth Stride (1843-1888)
Discovered on September 30th at 1:00 am when Louis Diemschutz
turned his pony and trap into the yard behind 40 Berner
Street. Her throat had been cut so recently. It was felt that
Louis’ untimely arrival had probably disturbed the Ripper
during the
attack.
Victim 4.
Catharine Eddows (1842-1888)
Catharine’s corpse was found less than an hour after Elizabeth
Stride’s, in Mitre Square. She had been ferociously attacked,
especially around the face and abdomen. Like Annie Chapman, some
of her internal organs had been removed.
Victim 5.
Mary Jane Kelly (1863-1888)
The last Ripper victim. Murdered in her lodgings at 13 Miller’s
Court sometime after 4 am on November 9th. This was the most
savage and gruesome attack. Her entire body was horribly mutilated,
her face hacked beyond recognition.
