Twelve Weeks of Terror the Reign of Jack the Ripper by The Dungeons

In the late nineteenth century the East End of London was a squalid, loathsome place, and of all its grim districts Whitechapel was the worst. Among its festering, stinking slums, a seething mass of wretched humanity struggled to scrape a miserable living, frequently turning to crime. Drink and death were often the only ways out; and because gin was cheap, one would soon lead to the other.

On that first fateful night, in the early hours of the morning, Mary Ann "Pollyâ Nichols was about to make history in the most horrible way. Even for an East End prostitute she was particularly pitiful: forty-two years old, down and out, and drunk. She was never to know that the man who stepped from the shadows behind her was not a customer, but a killer. She never saw the knife that first slit her throat from ear to ear, and was then used to mutilate her body even more. No-one had seen, or heard, anything.

The killer waited only a week before striking again. Annie Chapman, known as "Dark Annieâ, was even more wretched. She too was a prostitute, older than Mary Nichols, and was already dying of lung disease when the silent killer cut her throat. The sight that greeted a passing market porter in the small hours of 8th September was sickening. Annie Chapman's body had been disembowelled, and at her feet, neatly laid out, were the rings from her fingers and a handful of coins.

The fear, revulsion and speculation were now at fever pitch well beyond the bounds of Whitechapel. For three weeks no similar killings were reported, but any possibility of the furore dying down was swept away with what came to be known as the âdouble event'.

Elizabeth Stride ("Long Lizâ) was born in Sweden. She was in her mid-forties and had lived in London for over twenty years. As with the previous victims, her marriage had broken down, and she too followed that well-trodden pathetic path to drunkenness and prostitution. In the early morning of 30th September she had been seen by several people, including a police constable, talking to an unknown man. When her body was discovered, not long after, blood was still running from her throat into the nearby gutter. The killer had been disturbed before he could finish his gory work, and unsatisfied, immediately began his search for another victim. Not an hour later and less than a mile away, the cries of a terrified night-watchman were heard by a constable.

He ran into a small square to be greeted by the gruesome sight of a woman's body, slit open and with the intestines pulled out and draped over one shoulder. This was Catherine Eddowes, whose miserable life and sordid circumstances had been much like those of the other murdered women. A kidney and other organs had been removed, and the signature slash across her throat left little doubt who had done it. But who was the âwho?' This killing provided the first of the very few clues in the âAutumn of Terror'. A trail of blood led to a nearby doorway, and on the brickwork, scrawled in chalk, were the words

THE JUWES ARE NOT THE MEN WHO WILL BE BLAMED FOR NOTHING.

The message was unclear, but the Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police, fearing riots by both Jewish and non-Jewish factions, ordered its immediate removal. Another more substantial find was part of Catherine Eddowes' leather apron nearby. Bloodstained, soiled and hastily rinsed in water, it had probably contained the victim's missing organs, but provided no useful information.

As yet the murderer had no popular nickname. But on 27th September the Central News Agency received a letter, written in red ink and taunting the police. Supposedly from the killer, it was signed âJack the Ripper'. He would never be known by any other name.

Another month was to pass before the Ripper struck for the fifth time. The slaughter of Mary Jane Kelly (known by various names) was unique in several ways. She was to be the Ripper's last known victim, and the only one to be killed indoors. At 25, she was by far the youngest. And the manner of her death and mutilation was the most revoltingly obscene of all. Even for readers and viewers of modern crime fiction the details are deeply disturbing. Just before 11a.m. on Friday 9th November a rent collector knocked on the door of her dingy room. There was no answer, and he peered through a broken window pane. What he saw sent him dashing off to summon the police, who arrived in strength with surgeons.

There was hardly one part of Mary Kelly's body, internally and externally, that had not been slashed, sliced open, hacked about, cut out, cut off or torn away. The police surgeons' post mortem reads more like a report from an abattoir. Astonishingly, this document was locked away for nearly 100 years â only in 1987 was it learned that Kelly's heart had been removed. So ended Jack the Ripper's brief, brutal reign. The files on the case were closed in early 1889, but the fascination remains. And the search goes on...

London - England's capital city and the beating heart behind her power. But behind the projection of might and modernity lies a dark side; a history steeped in torture, torment, death and disease. Enter the most gruesome of London Attractions and learn the history of Jack the Ripper London. The London Dungeon invites you to discover the capital's secret past and relive the terrifying events that have gone down in history.
