the whitechaple murders

as mentioned the other day in our meeting evidence of all of the Whitechaple murders and their connection with jack the ripper
What has to be understood is the fact that the 'Ripper' murders and the 'Whitechapel murders' are not the same thing, although the latter does include the 'Ripper' murders. So to set the scene, the list of the eleven Whitechapel murders, (all of which at some stage have been looked upon as 'Ripper' murders), was as follows:

  1. Tuesday 3 April 1888
    Emma Elizabeth Smith
    Assaulted and robbed in Osborn Street, Whitechapel.
  2. Tuesday 7 August 1888
    Martha Tabram
    George Yard Buildings,George Yard, Whitechapel.
  3. Friday 31 August 1888
    Mary Ann Nichols
    Buck's Row, Whitechapel,
  4. Saturday 8 September 1888
    Annie Chapman
    Rear Yard at 29 Hanbury Street,Spitalfields.
  5. Sunday 30 September 1888
    Elizabeth Stride
    Yard at side of 40 Berner Street, St Georges-in-the- East.
  6. Sunday 30 September 1888
    Catherine Eddowes
    Mitre Square, Aldgate, City of London.
  7. Friday 9 November 1888
    Mary Jane Kelly
    13 Miller's Court, 26 Dorset Street Spitalfields.
  8. Thursday 20 December 1888
    Rose Mylett
    Clarke's Yard, High Street. Poplar.
  9. Wednesday 17 July 1889
    Alice McKenzie
    Castle Alley, Whitechapel.
  10. Tuesday 10 September 1889
    Unknown female torso
    Found under railway arch in Pinchin Street, Whitechapel,
  11. Friday 13 February 1891
    Frances Coles
    Under railway arch, Swallow Gardens, Whitechapel

    Throat cutting attended the murders of Nichols, Chapman, Stride, Eddowes, Kelly, McKenzie and Coles. In all except the cases of Stride and Mylett there was abdominal mutilation. In the case of Chapman the uterus was taken away by the killer; Eddowes' uterus and left kidney were taken; and in Kelly's case, evidence suggests, the heart.

    this shows how jack was connected to the Whitechapple murders but not responsible for all of them!
