Jack+the+Ripper+strikes+again

The Victorian Gossip gives you an update on what’s the latest in the chase of Jack the Ripper.**
 * Last night two more victims of Jack the Rippers wrath were found. The first victim was discovered lying on the ground in Dutfield’s yard, off Berner Street in Whitechapel. The other one was found in Mitre Square, within the City of London, though close to the boundary of Whitechapel. This is the first murder that has taken place in the City of London. Can anyone really feel safe with this murderer running the streets?

The past month we’ve heard about three brutal murders that appear to have the same perpetrator. All three victims were unfortunate poor women. Yesterday two new bodies were found with only a couple of hours apart. Also these women seem to have a rather unfortunate profession and look like they were victims of Jack the Rippers work. The first victim, the 44 years old Elizabeth Stride, was found by the steward of an adjoining club. The blood was still flooding from her throat, which indicates that the murderer was close to being caught red-handed. It looks like he didn’t get to finish his job, since she wasn’t mutilated like the other victims.

The second victim, the 46 years old Catherine Eddows, was found only hours later and this time it looked like he got to finish the job. Her throat was cut like the other victims and her abdomen was exposed. The police suspect that some of her organs were removed from the body.

Could this mean that he’s starting to get sloppy or is he just playing with the terrified citizens of Whitechapel?

Her abdomen is exposed and she is heavily maltreated.** ||

The police say it won’t be long before they’ve caught him, but the people of Whitechapel are terrified. It looks like Whitechapel is his territory considering four out of five murders are committed there, and the fifth not far from the boundary of Whitechapel. Is this just a coincidence or can it turn out to be something special that keeps him in this area. What could be the reason for this attraction to Whitechapel?

We also have a tip from one of our most reliable sources, that the murderer might be an educated man, considering the fact that he has removed several organs from the bodies. This implicates that he has knowledge about anatomy. The police won't give any comments to these allegations. Could this terrorist actually be a highly respected man or is he just an angry butcher trying to make a point?

Some people claim to have seen a suspicious- looking man wander around in the streets of Whitechapel. He’s said to be properly dressed with a black cloak and a top hat, carrying a small suitcase. If this is true, he might be an educated man as formerly mentioned. While we are waiting for the answers, people are recommended to never walk alone in Whitechapels dark, narrow streets.
