Jack the Ripper" is the popular name given to a serial killer who killed a number of prostitutes in the East End of London in 1888. The name originates from a letter written by someone who claimed to be the killer published at the time of the murders. The killings took place within a mile area and involved the districts of Whitechapel, Spitalfields, Aldgate, and the City of London proper. He was also called the Whitechapel Murderer and "Leather Apron."
In my opinion, the most suspected to be Jack the Ripper is James Kelly. First of all, it is because of he has Paranoid Schizophrenic. He also had shown himself capable of killing with a knife. Meanwhile, his reasons for murdering his wife were his belief that she was a prostitute and had infected him with VD. In addition, the source of his infection comes from prostitutes of Whitechapel and Spitalfields with whom he had consorted. Therefore, he may well have resolved to take his revenge on them for destroying his life.
The canonical five Ripper victims :
