Serial killers are gruesome individuals who thrive on the fear and pain of others. What can possibly motivate someone into killing one person, let alone dozens? What factors led to these awful crimes?
Jack the Ripper
Number of victims: Unknown, historically listed as 5
One of the most famous England serial killers is known as Jack the Ripper. He is most famously known for stalking poor women and prostitutes and killing them. His area of terror localised around the Whitechapel district in London in 1888. He was notorious for cutting prostitutes’ throats and hacking their bodies until they were barely recognisable. He was eventually detained by the authorities after an anonymous letter declared the act and dubbed his own name “Jack the Ripper.” However, to this day, it’s still unclear whether or not the act of the slaying could be done by one mere man.
