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

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!
