THE WHITECHAPEL MURDERS

During the era in which the Ripper was active, there were 11 murders
committed in London’s East End. These murders took place between April
3, 1888 and February 13th, 1891. These murders were collectively known
as the “Whitechapel Murders”, being labeled as such by a London
Metropolitan Police Service investigation.

Of the eleven Whitechapel Murders, it is widely believed that Jack the Ripper is directly responsible for five of them.
