Jack the Ripper suspects
A series of murders that took place in the East End of London from August to November 1888 were blamed on an unidentified assailant known as Jack the Ripper. Since that time, the identity of the killer or killers has been hotly debated, and over one hundred Jack the Ripper suspects have been named.〔Whiteway, Ken (2004). "A Guide to the Literature of Jack the Ripper". ''Canadian Law Library Review'' vol.29 pp.219–229〕〔Eddleston, pp.195–244〕 Though many theories have been advanced, experts find none widely persuasive, and some can hardly be taken seriously at all.〔
==Contemporaneous police opinion==
Metropolitan Police Service files show that their investigation into the serial killings encompassed eleven separate murders between 1888 and 1891, known in the police docket as the "Whitechapel murders".〔 Five of these—the murders of Mary Ann Nichols, Annie Chapman, Elizabeth Stride, Catherine Eddowes, and Mary Jane Kelly—are generally agreed to be the work of a single killer, known as "Jack the Ripper". They occurred between August and November 1888 within a few streets of each other, and are collectively called the "canonical five". The six other murders—those of Emma Elizabeth Smith, Martha Tabram, Rose Mylett, Alice McKenzie, Frances Coles, and an unidentified woman—have been linked with Jack the Ripper to varying degrees.
The swiftness of the attacks, and the manner of the mutilations performed on some of the bodies, which included disembowelment and removal of organs, led to speculation that the murderer had the skills of a physician or butcher.〔e.g. Dr Winslow, the examining pathologist, quoted in Haggard, Robert F. (1993). ("Jack the Ripper As the Threat of Outcast London" ). ''Essays in History''. Volume 35. Corcoran Department of History at the University of Virginia. Accessed 17 July 2008〕 However, others disagreed strongly, and thought the wounds too crude to be professional.〔e.g. Letter from Thomas Bond to Robert Anderson, 10 November 1888, quoted in Rumbelow, pp.145–147; Dr Percy Clark, assistant to George Bagster Phillips interviewed in the ''East London Observer'', 14 May 1910, quoted in Cook, ''Jack the Ripper'', p. 187 and Evans and Rumbelow, p. 238〕 The alibis of local butchers and slaughterers were investigated, with the result that they were eliminated from the enquiry.〔Rumbelow, p.274; Inspector Donald Swanson's report to the Home Office, 19 October 1888, HO 144/221/A49301C, quoted in Begg, ''Jack the Ripper: The Definitive History'', p. 206〕 Over 2,000 people were interviewed, "upwards of 300" people were investigated, and 80 people were detained.〔Inspector Donald Swanson's report to the Home Office, 19 October 1888, HO 144/221/A49301C, quoted in Begg, ''Jack the Ripper: The Definitive History'', p. 205; Evans and Rumbelow, p. 113; Evans and Skinner, ''The Ultimate Jack the Ripper Sourcebook'', p. 125〕
During the course of their investigations of the murders, police regarded several men as strong suspects, though none was ever formally charged.
