November 9th

On this day – November 9^th 1888 – was Jack the Ripper’s final victim murdered 

Mary Jane Kelly was found murdered in London in 1888 and she is believed to be the notorious mass-murderer, Jack the Ripper, last victim. Kelly was around 25 when she was murdered and she worked at a brothel in London. She was found in the morning on November 9^th by her landlords assistant. Her corpse had been horrible mutilated, even worse than the women who had previously been murdered. Jack the Ripper is believed to have killed five victims, but the cases was never solved. The murderer got the name, Jack the ripper, in a letter written by someone who claimed to be the killer, but the letter was probably written by the media to increase sales. It is believed that Jack the Ripper stopped killing because he either died or were imprisoned, but because he was never caught, no one knows for sure. The story have been used as background for several books and movies, TV-shows, artworks and computer games.
