Jack the Ripper

As I watched a movie Jack the Ripper played by Johnny Depp, I came to know about Jack the Ripper. Who is Jack the Ripper? Jack the Ripper is a cruel murderer and his case never solved until now and it has been more than 100 years passed.

There were many men who have been the suspect of this case based on their alibi, character, opportunity, and motives. Most of the suspects are wealthy and educated men such as Prince Albert, Dr. William Whitey Gull, Walter Sickert, and other 25 men. Jack the Ripper killed five women which is all of them are prostitutes. Prince Albert has been accused as Jack the ripper because people believed that he is married to Annie Crook, a working class girl. Police believed that Prince Albert is the real Jack the Ripper because he has the motive which is he do not want the five prostitutes which is Annie's friends to reveal about his illness. However, later people found out that there are no marriage record listing Prince Albert is Annie’s husband

Those prostitutes which are Mary Nichols, Catherine Eddowes, Mary Kelly, Elizabeth Stride and Annie Chapman were killed in a very cruel way. Their throat was cut and their organs such as uterus and intestine were taken out. Besides Prince Albert, the other suspect is royal family’s doctor William Whitey Gull. He was accused because he is a doctor and expertise in handling knife, and he has the opportunity to kill those canonical five. While, Walter Sickert was accused based on his paint which look very cruel and exactly look like the victims.

Even though it has been more than 100 years passed, this case is still unsolved and no one knows who the real Jack the Ripper is.
